Confirmed from University Green 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.
Green space featuring a swing set and slides for kids as well as tennis courts.
What runners say about University Green Park
“Well maintained park with tennis courts, swinging benches, and plenty of greenery.”
A nice, open park to go out to, walk around and play. Fairly well maintained. Tennis court for those who want to exercise outdoors. Very conveniently located near the Bay Area and Saturn business area, just a quick walk a few minutes away.
Nice neighborhood park with parking, slides for kids or... growing kids lol. Plenty of paths
Great park. Clean. Great place fur a dog walk. Be careful of the"Karens"! Most of the neighbors are friendly!
It's a lovely little neighborhood park, with a slide and some swings and some nice paths. Also tennis courts. But, DON'T PLAY IN THR GRASS if it's been raining, it's basically a big because it needs proper drainage.
