Confirmed from Robert Allen Tinnon 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.
Recreation area with 2 baseball fields, a playground & a picnic shelter with restrooms.
What runners say about Robert Allen Tinnon Park
“It's a very nice clean place to stop in and make a quick stop if you're wanting to get some ice cream or something like that and then the people who work there are very nice”
This place is the epitome of ball parks.unorganized Soccer games are played daily by Northtown Mexicans,and most weekdays in spring there are a couple little league baseball team members scrimmaging at nearly any given time of the day .. I walk here and watch time go by with my dearest neighbors sometimes until dawn.
They have all kinds of different activities you can do. Walking, playground, soccer, baseball, ... You can have birthday parties etc. They have a pavilion with built-in restrooms. It's really nice.
