We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Woodbridge Metcalf Grove yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“I've very rarely seen other people on this short trail and the redwood grove is so peaceful and beautiful.”
The mountain bikers descending this trail were respectful and courteous of all users, but still managed to shred hard and fast.
Beautiful trail nearby UC Berkeley. Very easy to hike. Bring your kids.
