Confirmed from Scott 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.
Green space featuring baseball fields, playgrounds, a BMX track and a swing set.

“Have never seen a park this well-maintained!”
“Fantastic walk in the woods with my beautiful wife and our puppy!”
Such a beautiful place to spend the afternoon. Nice walking trails. Super fun bike paths. Picturesque view of the bay. Definitely worth a visit!!!
Beautiful little Park. Ride your Bicycle, Walk your Dog, or catch a baseball game. Enjoy a Picnic. Update 01/15/20 I took a bike ride through the Park today. Love Scott Park.
Beautiful place to take a walk with or without your pet. New rainbow bridge is awesome. Bought a few bricks for my deceased pets, R.I.P. guys, miss you.
We attended for the Halloween Rock Scavenger Hunt! Our son had a great time and so many beautiful paths to explore.

The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- SurfaceNatural surface — easiest on the joints and the most fun, but expect roots, rocks and mud after rain
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- At the trailheadrestrooms — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
- Stroller / wheelchairReported as smooth and step-free enough for a running stroller or a chair.
