Confirmed from Towata Park City of Alameda'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“Small little park, great view when walking around the island”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“Clean and peaceful place to walk and see the sunset”

Beautiful morning walk/ run. The starting point for a gentle walk - (small parking lot if youre driving) follow sometimes slightly rocky path to Shoreline and Broadway Sts. then path continues along Shoreline on to Crown beach area.

★★★★★ — Suzy , Apr 2019

Nice pit stop. Good Picnic area and nice place for a walk. A play area for kids would make this so much better

★★★★☆ — Heather , Jan 2018

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.
