People who live near Disneyland... need help for surrounding area.

DS is going to join the crosscountry team. Of course the week in August we go is the first week of practice. Anyway, unless DS can continue to run daily, he will not be able to compete in his first meet. DS wants to be able to run while on vacation, so I need to know where in the nearby area can he run safely?

DH will be going with him, OR we may tail him in our car, so he isn't by himself. I just need to know where a good area would be for him to get in some running?

I've seen people running on Harbor and Katella. It looks really nice. The area is full of people going to work and tourists, I've never noticed a bad element, it's always felt really safe to me.

We usually run around the park. Ball to Harbor to Katella to Disneyland Dr to Ball. The circuit is just about 3 miles and includes the 2 bridges over the 5 and the dip under Downtown Disney. Plenty of tourists to dodge...

Is there anywhere nearby that is residential, where it would be OK to tail him in the car? On the other streets, we couldn't tail him if we needed to.

El Dorado park is over by the 605 freeway and has long winding paths and a nature park. I used to ride my bike there 30 years ago probably.
