Confirmed from Anderson County Parks & Rec'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.

well-maintained 7 mentions

“It was nice, kids really liked the splash pad, and the picnic area was clean.”

Plenty of seperate play areas, it's fenced off, shelter area if you want to have food, plenty of Grass for even the babies to walk and roam not on the playground equipment.

Worth the drive from Frankfort, this quiet park has something for every member of the family; tree lined walking trails, athletic fields, a large playground with plenty of benches for parents and play zones for kids of all ages. The adjacent public pavilion makes this a great place for a quick picnic and play session.

★★★★★ — Thomas , Jul 2021

Went walking on the walking trail. It was nice to not trip over tree roots due to it bring paved. A few hills yo make it more challenging. We saw the pond where people were fishing, and the skateboard park. The Frisbee golf course looked nice, and there are some shelters to sit and relax. It's a very nice park!

★★★★★ — Richard , Jun 2024

This park is one of the reasons I love being in Lawrenceburg! Great walking paths, the disc golf course, dog park, playground, fishing pond, sports fields, flower garden, natural areas, and covered picnic areas. The groundskeepers also do a fantastic job of keeping it mowed and clean! Couldn’t ask for much more.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
