Confirmed from Peña Adobe Regional Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Large park offers hiking, BBQ areas, bike trails, fishing & a dog area, plus a historic adobe house.

“There’s a lovely lake nearby with an easy walking path.”
A lovely spot for a picnic. I like to stop here when leaving the Bay Area. Its a neat place to walk around and read a little local history. There are now QR codes to enhance your self-guided tour. The restrooms and drinking fountains are always clean. There is even a fountain on the ground for dogs to get a drink.
We had a large group picnic at Pena Adobe. It's a nice place. They had barbecue pits. Great place to sit and eat our lunch. Large grassy area. Bathrooms were clean. I really liked it. The only downside was it's pretty close to the freeway but didn't really seem to mess with our festivities.
