Confirmed from Bradley Lake 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.
59-acre park featuring a lake, fishing, trails, a playground, picnic areas, baseball & restrooms.
What runners say about Bradley Lake Park
“Beautiful park with almost everything, playground, trail, lake, bathrooms, picnic area and tons of grass.”
“Early April at Bradley Lake Park—cherry blossoms in full bloom 🌸 Not crowded at all, perfect for a walk or some photos!”
This is a lovely park. Great playground, and baseball field, and the lake has a paved track that is 0.8 miles all the way around. It is wheelchair and stroller accessible. The little squirrels are super friendly and curious, a couple quite brave looking for handouts.
We took our students on a community outing today. We do this every year and they always have fun. There is a large picnic area that can be reserved. There are play areas for kids. The lake has a dock and a trail that goes around the lake. There are bathrooms, but they are typical park bathrooms.
Very nice walking park. There's lots of areas around the lake that you can pull off. I even saw a gentleman fishing today! The park was very busy with kids playing, people jogging, dogs walking and more. Highly recommend this park! We will be back.
Bradley Lake Park is our favorite place to walk and unwind. We visit several times a week because it offers not only the beauty of nature but also a serene, almost zen atmosphere.
