Confirmed from Peninsula 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.
Quaint local park with harbor views featuring picnic areas, a children's playground & tennis courts.
What runners say about Peninsula Park
“Great place to walk your dog, have a picnic and just enjoy beautiful harbor views”
Had my son's dad's celebration of life here and it was absolutely the perfect place that people that take care of the park are so nice and they were so good to us we really had a great time and no one gave us any problems all the people that walk their dogs there and live around there and guard the park sort of there…
Great little hidden gem! They host a ton of small club meetings at there clubhouse which has wheelchair accessible male and female bathrooms . Along with ample parking they have a 10 and under playground and tennis courts as well as a large open field for dogs it borders the boardwalk on the channels and a nice view…
Great place to walk your dog, have a picnic and just enjoy beautiful harbor views
Cute park with playground a few grills with picnic tables and tennis court. You can take a walk and enjoy the view of the harbor. The only thing I don't like is that there's no soap in the bathroom!!
