Confirmed from Sierra Meadows 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.

Like a flock of passerby birds in a day when the temp was 106, I was on my way back from lake tahoe to east bay with my kids. we grabbed some ice cream and beverages from the nearby safeway store and I told my kids let’s find a nearby park to rest for couple minutes and enjoy the ice cream. we found this park.

Never actually parked and spent time in this park but used to drive by it every day on my way to work. Beautiful shady areas with green grass, a few picnic tables, basketball court and play set for the kids. It even has a nice little perimeter trail to walk while the kids are playing.

★★★★☆ — Jenise , Jun 2021

Darling park! 10/10. We got Rocklin Donuts and Cinnamon (right around the corner) and went here after and it was the dreamiest afternoon. Lots of shade and tables and unique ways to play. We all loved it!

★★★★★ — Natalie , Dec 2024

Great place to have a picnic or bbq. Nice and shady with a walking path. Bring the kids! Fun play structure for them.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
