Confirmed from Via Verde 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.
Park, with playground equipment and a grassy field, plus a walking track.
What runners say about Via Verde Park
“The restroom is very nice and clean and near a well planned and structure playground.”
“My pawpaz and I took advantage of the beautiful open space, with some off leash play.”
“It was tranquil and peaceful for our morning walk.”
Very cute and safe park with a walking path and and playground. There are also many trees and an expansive grassy area. Every neighborhood deserves one like it.
Nice park with paved walking paths, playgrounds and large grass field with limited shades.
Such a lovely park. Lots of dog walkers and families. If you want to avoid the LA vibe, this is the place to go.
Cute little park with walking path around it. Watch out if you have bad joints though, it's a concrete path and pretty high impact. There's lots of free street parking around. Good for families.
