This large park in Claremont, just west of downtown, has everything from playing fields to a picnic area to a ~2 mile paved walking/jogging path. It’s a flat, straightforward run with ample free parking, so it’s a good go-to for a quick run or a few loops. The park also has some bike paths on its western end which can be added on for more distance.
