Confirmed from Duck Lake Pines 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.
Family-friendly park known for playground and ball fields (baseball, soccer, football) and roller hockey.
What runners say about Duck Lake Pines Park
“But from what I've seen it is a very well-kept Park with really nice grounds and an incredibly kept ball field.”
Nice park with 4 baseball / softball diamonds, a small playground, 2 tennis courts, basketball nets, a walking path that winds through the woods, and a pavilion. Indoor bathrooms only available during the spring baseball season. There's also an outdoor concrete hockey rink.
We absolutely LOVE Duck Lake Park. Nice walking trail, tennis court, baseball fields. Could use some new basketball nets but other than that we love it there. We go there very often during the summer
Large park, with paved walkways. Nice, with bag dispenser for your dogs waste. I enjoy bringing our pup out, for his exercise.
Nice park that has several paved walking trails, baseball fields, roller hockey court, basketball hoops and tennis areas. There are also outhouses available. Additionally, there are picnic areas and a beautiful view of a pond. I mainly come here to walk or run on the trails.
