Confirmed from San Martin 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.
City park featuring a Cinderella-themed playground, plus basketball courts & ball diamonds.

Not too big but has enough to have a good day. Always clean and well mainteined, good to go for a walk or bring the little ones to the playgroung. Fun friday nights!
San Martin Park is nice. Has a lot of grass area to run around, play soccer, football, etc. Grass even has small mounds to add hills to a run. Has two full basketball courts. Has two playgrounds one for 2-5 year Olds and one for I believe 5-12 year Olds.
Really love this park had 2 sides! There's a toddlers side the slides are smaller and there not to high off the ground there perfect size for small children and have different types of swings for different ages also love the fact that it's gated with a Lach door so kiddos can't run off and the other side is for older…
My kids love this place. Very clean park , the staff worker is always around making sure everything is running smoothly. Probably my favorite park in Lakewood
