Confirmed from Peter F. Schabarum 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.
575-acre park with protected stream, tennis courts & abundant trails & natural areas.
What runners say about Peter F. Schabarum Regional Park
“The whole area was well maintained with several very new playgrounds for small and older children.”
“The plush greenery, beautiful blooms of cherry blossoms, and lots of white, yellow and purple flowers make it a quick and easy way to take a nature break.”
“There are multiple trails that wind across, around and above the park, from easy walks to some more intense hikes with limited shade, so come prepared with water and sunscreen.”
Really nice park and plenty of parking. Got to see the cherry blossoms last months and they finally finished the playgrounds for the kids. Plenty of flowers so see and a great place to hike.
A vast green area in an urban setting of Hacienda Heights. This is a really well laid out park with large picnic areas throughout the park. The large picnic areas can be reserved for a fee and each area is away from the main road and other picnic areas for plenty of privacy.
Beautiful and very large park — perfect for spending a few hours outdoors. There are multiple trails that wind across, around and above the park, from easy walks to some more intense hikes with limited shade, so come prepared with water and sunscreen. The views on the more intense hikes are great.
Quick update with new scenery videos for the main hiking trail. Was a bit muddy so proper shoes highly recommended for best experience. Great place to hike. The plush greenery, beautiful blooms of cherry blossoms, and lots of white, yellow and purple flowers make it a quick and easy way to take a nature break.
Trail conditions & character
“The plush greenery, beautiful blooms of cherry blossoms, and lots of white, yellow and purple flowers make it a quick and easy way to take a nature break.”
“They are charging entry fees for parking inside the park now but its worth it in my opinion.”
“There are plenty of picnic areas, clean restrooms, a small creek (dry during our November visit), and nice recreational areas for kids.”
“Both the park and all the hikes are dog friendly, but dogs need to stay on the leash especially because there's a lot of wild nature on the hikes”
“Many trails can be explored, unless it’s muddy from the rain like when we visited yesterday.”
