Confirmed from Greenwood Lakes 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.
Easygoing public park offering a trailhead, a roller-hockey rink, playgrounds & picnic facilities.
What runners say about Greenwood Lakes Park
“Lots of stuff for her to play on and it was pretty clean.”
“Super close to the library & walking trails and plenty of shade, & parking.”
Wow! Such a beautiful park! -Playground -Located directly next to Seminole Library -Small workout equipment area -Water bottle refill stations -Picnic Tables -Walking Path -Plenty of trees and shade -Gazebo for parties, etc -Benches for parents -Tennis courts -Restrooms
Beautiful updated playground with lots of things we have never seen at another playground. Unfortunately, there are signs posted saying you can't park in the library parking lot (closest to the playground), so you have to park across the field and walk over.
This park has all brand new equipment. Lots of climbing. There is parking at the library or a small lot next to the trail. Either parking is a decent walk to the playground. Bathrooms are near the playground. It’s in the middle of a large area with a walking trail around it.
Have been to this park in Lake Mary 3 times and each time have had fun on the playgrounds! Watch out for red ants under the picnic tables and broken glass too, but the playground equipment is perfect for toddlers and elementary aged children. Plenty of benches for parents to watch from.

“Super close to the library & walking trails and plenty of shade, & parking.”
“Bathrooms are not far from the playground, but there are no changing tables so come prepared.”
“However, there are 4 big slides which are easily accessible; as well as some spinning platforms (think smaller merry-go-round with rope handles instead of bars).”
