Confirmed from Rancho Laguna 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.
Picnic-friendly open space featuring a playground and an off-leash dog area.
What runners say about Rancho Laguna Park
“Beautiful walk up Rocky Ridge trail.”
The playground is actually only a small part of the park. Other parts of the park belong the local water department. The access for that area has limited and you need to buy a pass to walk in that location. The park has lots trials. In some area you can see cows.
Great area to have picnics, birthday parties, huge field, playground for kiddos to play, and also a flower garden to enjoy the scenery. You’ll be able to see some butterflies flying around and also some families bring their dogs to run around and walk and roam around. Great place to play football or baseball.
This is a fantastic park. Shiny and new feel to it. Great restrooms available nearby. Great trails behind the park. The play structure is huge! Kids love all the features. Plenty of seating. Gated in play area which is great for those that like to run or wander. Looks like they're working on the gym part.
Fun place for dogs and kids. Nice area by playstructure with barbeque can be rented our for events, or smaller areas across the field are perfect for family gatherings. Connects to trail network across EBMUD land.
