Confirmed from Chuck Lennon 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.
Large park with baseball fields, a playground and soccer fields, plus mountain-bike trails.
What runners say about Chuck Lennon Park
“We really enjoy all the different activities available from clean bathrooms, bike trails, playground, jungle walk with benches.”
“A super peaceful, well kept, beautiful and pleasant place to be!”
“It was quiet and we played on two different playgrounds, both allowing us to burn off steam and run around.”
“It is well designed and has a good selection of easy trails and some interesting and challenging ones as well.”
I went to Chuck Lennon park to enjoy the mountain bike trails which were just awesome. They're well marked, well groomed and well cared for. There are bathrooms here a little bit down the road. Basketball courts and a playground. The mountain bike trails have many different skill levels from easy to Black diamond.
Great mountain bike trails. Not very long so I rode them all twice then rode expert and did jump course for a while. Overall really fun place. Mud in few places but brief. No dry sand anywhere which was nice for this time of year. No long climbs like Graham Swamp or Santos but short steep ones with drops.
MTB jumps were in good condition still on 12/18/21. Spent a lot of time just riding these. Trails are a pedal-y XC style but fun and challenging. Best to go when it is dry outside the previous few days because it can get very mucky and slippery in spots.
Great park, top notch facilities, very well groomed and thought out trails. Enough features to get the blood pumping but not over the top ridiculous with difficulty. We made a two hour drive from Jax and will definitely be back.
