Confirmed from Ben Fiorendino 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.
Relaxing, lakeside greenspace, home to iguanas and birds.
What runners say about Ben Fiorendino Park
“Very nice and clean park , it’s a small park , they have a sign that says “no animals” so it’s probably not allowed for pets .”
“This small yet somehow spacious park is home to so many beautiful ducks and other birds that it makes you think they are putting the word out among all their bird friends.”
“This is a small, quiet spot where the white ibis tend to forage for food.”
This park is very nice and relaxing. You can stay in around 7PM and watch the sunset as well as enjoy a nice breeze with the sound of the palm trees. Walk around and enjoy all the trees and lake or just sit by the lake! This place would also be a nice place to take some pictures! & Lastly, parking is free!
Discovered this park driving by and decided to stop by and I love it here! It has a pathway to walk around with mulch, sitting areas with benches including under the shaded bungalow, a pretty lake and positive affirmation signs. When I saw them it was so nice and a great touch. Very serene.
This is a 3.5. It could be cleaner here and there... Geese, iguanas and ants have taken over some parts as well. That said, it's a quiet park with a nice exercise/foot path. Plenty of shade and a gazebo to sit in.
