Short paved trail for biking, boarding, skating, running and walking. It’s a good use of land for a quick workout or a slow mesmerizing nature walk! There’s local wildlife with signage to be seen along the way. I most enjoy this pathway on an overcast day, as there’s no shade-cover. It can be a stand-alone experience, with designated parking and restrooms at both ends. It can also be part of a Santa Ana River side passage, along with the longer Santa Ana River bike path. There’s some small areas to rest with seating and trash containers. Dog stations are provided for pet owners.

There was a good amount of people, but it wasn’t as crowded as I was expecting. This is a good path for families and small kids/babies in strollers could be taken on the trail. Overall, a very easy way to take a leisurely walk/easy run and get...
Read moreI grew up near here and remember playing under big trees on large rolling grassy hills, it was so much fun to play here and enjoy the views of the mountains, river, and Angel Stadium. Now the area has been totally changed. They removed most of the large trees and put in drought tolerant plants that just look like messy weeds. If they were worried about water conservation they should have just pumped water out of the riverbed to water the grass. They could've even used solar to power the pumps. The good thing is that there is a really nice trail to stroll on and still enjoy the scenery, just lacks the nice grass to picnic on under those big...
