Confirmed from Hammock 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.
Quiet park featuring playgrounds, picnic tables and walking paths, plus charcoal grills.
What runners say about Hammock Lakes Park
“It is always well maintained and pleasant.”
“Very quiet secluded park, it's behind a neighborhood so if you just want a place to walk it's fine but would not bring a whole bunch of people.”
My wife and I walk through here as part of our evening routine. It is always well maintained and pleasant. If you look carefully, you may see a few wild rabbits!
Great park my kids loved it, very clean. It has ball courts and nice walks to go on. Also picnic tables under cover and water fountains.
We love our little neighborhood park. Clean and easy access. Great place to let your kids run like crazy and feel safe.
Pretty park. I only stopped to use my cell phone but got out to walk around after seeing how nice it looked. Alot of dog walkers ad everyone looked happy to be there
