Confirmed from Thousand Oaks 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.
Recreational area with trails and a bike path, plus picnicking, and a disc golf course.

This park comes complete with a clean walking path/bridge a stream to hang out near, and plenty of grass for picnic or playing with doggies. People walking this path had smiles on their cave and were friendly and welcoming. The trees are everywhere. Lots of oaks maple with very beautiful contrast in the fall.
Beautiful and quite park for nice brisk walk especially early morning.
Took our BMX racers 1989-1994 practice Rode all over from Speckles BMX Park to Smyrna Park To 1000 Oaks to Modesto La Loma Dry Creek trails 2012-2021
Great place to walk the dogs, the kids, bicycle ride, roller blade, etc. Paved and dirt paths. Lots of beautiful trees. Good parking at end of coffee road into scenic, as it dead ends into the parking lots. Walk down a dirt patch from the circle and cross the bridge, you are there.
