Confirmed from Pinole Valley 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.
Wooded creekside park featuring sports fields, a skateboarding area, a dog park & a playground.

This park is nice :-) It has plenty of parking, restrooms, baseball field, soccer field, basketball court, skateboard park, a play structure with swings, slides, ropes for climbing, a trail, and 2 dog parks. This park is great and safe for children ages 2 to 9.

Nice neighborhood park. With public restrooms that are open. I haven't been inside so I don't know what shape they're in. Great place to go for a walk, take your dog for a walk, take your kids for a walk or play on the play structures.
