Confirmed from Hart's Woods Park - Round Lake Area Park District'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.
Fenced outdoor area for kids that also has swings, slides and picnic tables.
What runners say about Hart's Woods Park - Round Lake Area Park District
“Clean and everything works, including a nice child-height fence around the playground's perimeter 😁”
Really nice park! They have a nice playground and walking trails. Nice place to walk your dogs also
This is a nice place to spend the afternoon. There is a skate park, soccer field, ramada, grill, trails, pool nearby. TIP - grab a book from the library next door and find a quiet bench.
They allow the gym to be as a indoor track for an hour weekdays. Pleasant staff and not a bad place to walk during bad weather. Almost always lightly used.
Fun little park. Just wish there were sidewalks leading there so we could walk and not be in the road.
