Confirmed from Richard Sanchez 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.
Laid-back park featuring a basketball court and a play area, plus swings for kids.
What runners say about Richard Sanchez Park
“It looks clean and well maintained.”
“Not many benches for sitting, but trees nearby for shade is nice.”
It was a nice walk with my grandsons while they had a safe wide path to ride their bike and scooter. Auntie Hope pushed them on the swings.
Very basic but plenty of green space and running space in addition to the play place.
