Confirmed from Senator Gwen Margolis 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.
Park on 2.84 acres with play & picnic areas, a soccer field, free Wi-Fi & an off-leash dog zone.
What runners say about Senator Gwen Margolis Park
“Gwen Margolis Park is well maintained and beautifully laid out making it a delight to visit.”
“Amenities at Gwen Margolis Park a shade covered playground, benches, picnic tables, paved walking path, and botanical garden.”

Very pretty, green and lush park. Well kept. Nice area for kids to play with a shade cover from the sun. Soft ground for falls. The playground is more for kids over 5, I would say. There's a field for team sports and a small path for walking.
