Confirmed from Tarragona Open Space'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 Tarragona Open Space
“there are great views to be seen and great trees to sit beneath.”
This open space and grass area with paths is lovely for a walk. No playground equipment here, but plenty of room for the kids to run around.
It's called blueberry hill to the locals. It's an old estate that was donated to the city. Best small park in Santa Barbara hands down!!!
This a green space for walking dogs with a short trail through it. There is no playground, but plenty of room to run and play.
I love taking a walk through these wide open spaces...there are great views to be seen and great trees to sit beneath.

- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
