We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Pedro Benavides County Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“Great for a light run or biking.”

The park is very clean and organizations. There is a track to run or walking with exercise machines along the way.

The local park is rapidly improving, offering a more enjoyable experience with each upgrade. Recent enhancements include well-maintained walking trails, newly installed playground equipment, and upgraded sports facilities.

What a hidden gem! We were visiting from out of town and once we found this park we visited often to walk our dog along the trails. Beautifully maintained, and they just installed lights all around the outside walking trail.

★★★★★ — Christine , Mar 2025

My kids love this park! There's something for everyone - basketball and volleyball courts, soccer and baseball fields, picnic tables around the park, a walking trail and even a mountain bike trail in the wooded area! Great place to spend time with the family. Highly recommend.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
