Confirmed from Rudolph 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.
Compact spot featuring a playground with slides, a sand pit area and a water feature.
What runners say about Rudolph Park
“The downside of this place is that dog owners don’t clean up after their pets, so you’ll see poop everywhere and flies around, especially in the sand play area.”
“There is exercise equipment there are picnic tables there’s two all gendered bathrooms there are beautiful mosaic tiled play areas for the kids.”
“Just need some more kids equipment for them to play on, other then that is beautiful and peaceful:)”
This is a small little treasure in Lawndale. There is exercise equipment there are picnic tables there’s two all gendered bathrooms there are beautiful mosaic tiled play areas for the kids. There’s one big wide slide that makes it nice for parents to slide down with their kids and the ground is soft in that area.
I walked over after dropping my car off for a wheel alignment and spent an hour at the park and it was so relaxing and peaceful, its a small park with comfy places to sit and picnic tables and a path to walk around and a play area.... you can eat your lunch or just chill out.
This is a fantastic little park. It has picnic tables, a sand area, a jungle gym, a big open grassy area, some slides, and workout equipment, plus a track around the perimeter for jogging or riding trikes/scooters/etc. There's only two entrances, both at the front, so it's pretty safe to bring kids.
This park is great for bringing your toddlers. There are many places to walk, lots of grass, and plenty of nature. It also has a small sand play area and a waterpark, which kids love.
