Confirmed from Apollo Community Regional 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.
A 54-acre park featuring 3 man-made lakes for fishing & boating plus play equipment & walking paths.

“Apollo Community Regional Park Lancaster, CA Nestled in the heart of Lancaster, California, Apollo Community Regional Park is a true gem for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages.”
Beautiful park. It's probably a mile walk around the whole lake. Lots of different birds, keep in mind the geese are forward little animals. Bathrooms at every .25 of a mile, give or take.
Been coming here off and on for years. Nice change of pace from the other parks in the area. Place to fish. Feed ducks. Play on jungle gyms or just for walk around the park. Secluded from other parks, it’s not usually busy. A place to get away. Side note: Do the Magical Rode.
