Confirmed from Sunnydale 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.

Paved

Grassy outdoor area with a playground and a paved track for walkers and joggers, plus swings and a gazebo.

well-maintained 7 mentions

“Wonderful park , mildly clean , overall a good park to do community service.”

Great park for walking, flying small kites, with a playground for young and older kids. You can park on the lots or on the street on the other side of the park.

★★★★☆ — Rodrigo , Mar 2024

The park is great for people of all ages, from babies to seniors! There are two playgrounds with slides and swing, a gazebo with two picnic tables and a big grassy field surrounded by a walking/running/biking track. Lots of trees around the track and two benches to take a break.

★★★★★ — Vaishali , Aug 2019

A nice park but the parking lot is in the side with the walking track. You have to park on the residential street if you want to park by the play equipment. Or does have a nice little pavilion.

★★★★☆ — Michael , Jun 2019

They offer a decent sized children's park and have a soccer field. The park also offers a walking path however, besides that it doesn't offer much more.

★★★★☆ — Harsh , Aug 2020

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.
