Confirmed from Schaefer Ranch 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.
Windy park featuring multiple playgrounds and a spacious grass field.

The schaefer ranch park , the real beauty in itself. It has become the part of my life since i saw it. Repeated visits were the outcome of my first visit. The walking loop the enchanting beauty of hills all are beauty to watch which can be felt when you personally see it. Excellent.
Lovely park with playgrounds, covered picnic area with lots of tables, big field, a path that loops around, basketball court, and tennis court. Most importantly, BATHROOMS!
Great open space for the kids to run and excellent play sets as well. It does get windy a bit so bring a light jacket with you.
