Confirmed from Treasure Island 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.
Small, clean park featuring a playground and picnic tables.

Lovely strip of park next to the bike path that runs along the LA River. Picnic tables, grills, shady trees, lots of plants on a winding path and a playground. Parking available on Bluff road.
Nice, quiet little park. Hardly anyone there, right by the riverbed. Kids love it, so if they enjoy it I enjoy it. Not a lot of games, but there's not a lot of kids there when we go either. It's not super noisy, there's a little trail to go walking with the family. Little hidden gem.
We stopped at this park for a brake while riding our bikes on the LA River Bike path. Quiet, clean and plenty of space!!!!LOVE THE SWINGS!!!Plenty of trees for shade. Several benches for seating and picnicking. Several entrances to the LA River Bike Path. Animal friendly.
Secluded therefore quiet. Access to Rio Hondo bike path. BBQ grills and some covered as well as uncovered eating benches (not many though). Small playground area for kids. Plenty of trees and plants that are well kept and nice to see while walking along the concrete path.
