We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Altman Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Relaxing park and nature center offering shaded picnic areas, lakeside trails and kayaking.
What runners say about Altman Park
“Love this place it is beautiful and especially in the fall with all the pretty trees lots of nature lake and wildlife ❤️❤️❤️”
“So beautiful & peaceful ✨😌 definitely recommend especially on Sunset.”
Walking around Lake Katherine and watching the geese and ducks is very relaxing.
September 20, 2023 Palos Park Waterways is now Cherry Hill Woods Sloughs (?). Since the Ice Age it was known as the Saganashkee Squaw Slough. Now it is a shallow lake great for kayaking.
Clean with bike trail, walking trail, and nature center. Paths are well laid out. There is kayak rental. We saw baby geese, baby ducks, and turtles. Nice way to get a nice walk in.
I didn't realize you could walk all around Lake Katherine! It's my new favorite place to walk... can't wait to see the spring and summer flowers, and the fall colors!
