Confirmed from Rynerson 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.
Spacious park, dedicated in 1990 & offering psorts facilities, open spaces & a variety of trails.

I drive out from my city to come over here. I love taking long walks with my dog here. I even let him off leash because there is enough space (of course I monitor him because I am responsible for him and they sometimes have the horses outside). This park is well-maintained and family friendly.
I've lived near this park for the last 27 Years. It has come a LONG WAY in improvements. It's definitely more FAMILY friendly. They've built a play and exercise area in the middle area of the park. The track around the park is 1 mile. I recommend this park for anyone looking to come out and get some sun and fun!
Beautiful park to just go and enjoy a brisk walk in the morning. I was there from about 10:30 am to 12 pm and did not see too many people there. It's also near the LA Basin River Bed and you can also walk along it if you want.
