Confirmed from Sister City 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.
What runners say about Sister City Park
“This is a small pretty park along the very beautiful bicycle/pedestrian path along the shore between Monterey's Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row.”
This is a small pretty park along the very beautiful bicycle/pedestrian path along the shore between Monterey's Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row. Walking along the path gives you lots of scenic bay views including bay wildlife like seals and sea otters that are constantly swimming right by you.
Park with beautiful beach views and very convenient bike and walk trail. Rented a bike at Fisherman's Wharf and did the Monterey Recreational Trail which passes throughout this park, it was a great experience
Vary nice place Well served Nice walk good car park diving centre on site
My family and I enjoyed a pleasant walk along the pedestrian and bike trail. It was nice to stop here and sit down for a bit for a rest. Beautiful views. It was pleasant to observe the tide come in and out.
