- AngelaJan 31, 2024Quiet nature
Nice walking paths, lots of nature to see depending on type of day, quiet & peaceful
- ChristinaJan 16, 2024Tons of trails!
My first time to this park and it was bigger than I thought it would be! Tons of paved and unpaved trails. I saw one trash bin on my walk for waste. Unfortunately I did see evidence of irresponsible dog owners. There's a 5' leash rule and everyone I saw with a dog seemed to be following that rule. It was a great walk during cool temps in January. I want to go back to see more!

I love this park, great long trails with beautiful scenery. However, without fail, if I bring my dog here, he manages to pick up a few ticks. I took him a few times but had to stop because of it.

Such a nice shaded forest to hike around in with the pup in tow! He (and we) were very happy to have such a long and leisurely walk that wasn’t very busy at all and had a respite from the sun.

Plenty of great paths, both paved and unpaved, with some shaded areas to rest and get water. Wish there was a better map of the trails though. Day parking is $2.
- El GolfoMore than a year agoLots of room to walk
Lots of long paths, roads and trails to walk. I try to avoid the paved trails since they have a lot of bicyclists. Walking the dirt roads is the best.

Starkey is a beautiful park. There are miles of paved and unpaved trails to walk. They don't currently have designated dog areas and dogs must be on a leash. It's great if you want to take a long walk with your dog.
