Confirmed from Alimagnet Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Relaxed park featuring playgrounds, disc golf courses and volleyball courts.
What runners say about Alimagnet Park
“Beautiful park and right next to a lake that is great for kayaking.”
“The best part is the abundance of trees, and the shade they provide.”
Beautiful place to run, walk, or ride a bike off road!!! 4 parking areas that I know of so there was plenty of parking that day. I saw an owl look straight at me,, that was pretty cool and the people I walked by were respectful of social distancing. I don't believe there's a boat launch though.
Very fun park to go to with the family, or without. Fun, park-style Disc golf course with some good variation on the back 5 holes (goes from out in the open to through the walking trails). The park is well appointed as well.
Love this laid back shady oasis right in my own back yard! Frisbee hipsters hit the course... Soccer moms speed walking by on paved paths... Two playgrounds for the kids... Picnic area... Bring the pups... And a hill I bet is a decent slider!!! There's more... Trust me... See you there!!!
The paths to walk down to the lake are fabulous! Our girls love going here.
