Confirmed from Wrigley Greenbelt'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.
Long, thin, 9.8-acre green space featuring grass, trees & trails for walking.
What runners say about Wrigley Greenbelt
The Greenbelt is the grassy area running adjacent to the LA River on the residential side. There's no pedestrian path here as it's literally just a stretch of grass and trees. If you want to bike or jog, go up the entrance to the bank of the river where there is a pedestrian/bike path.
What a spacious well kept park in the Wrigley, the place is new and the trails are easy to walk on, theres a lot of young trees and a lot of sounds coming from nature which makes this place so nice. There’s many places to sit and have a picnic, many blooming flowers here also during spring.
next to the riverbed where it's connected to Los Angeles good place to hike and there's no restaurants where there's restaurants around everywhere but this is connected to the riverbed to San Gabriel valley mountains
A nice trail along the LA River Bed. It's wheelchair accessible. It's a nice trail for younger children or senior citizens. It goes along some barns with horses.
