Beware, need a tetanus shot to visit!
As of July 2024, unfortunately, this beautiful park is in terrible disrepair. Metal meshing added to the elevated wooden walkways is excellent for preventing slipping; however, on most trail sections, it is coming apart and is very dangerous for dogs and people wearing sandals. The sharp metal netting edges are sticking up in different directions. In some spots, the damaged net was rolled up and left on the side of the trail exposed and easy to trip over.

I'm trying to say, the kids who play here have good taste or at least parents who might have a kooky xennial vibe. If that makes you nervous, you've...

This is a really wonderful park for a short hike, dog walk or to just wander around and get lost. The tall trees, little creeks with bridges, viewing platforms and staircases are a delight to explore.
Turns out it’s one of the city’s best preserved forested areas. Well established trails intersect with more narrow social trails through the dense understory of a big ravine. Staying off the social trails can be hard to do, so take note at intersections and try to choose the more established routes. The trails can get a bit muddy even in the dry season, since the entire park is a watershed feeding into Fauntleroy Creek.
Fauntleroy Watershed seems to have the best printable trail map and nature walk...
