Confirmed from Hazle Township Community 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.
Kids' park featuring playground equipment, a lake and barbecue grills.

“Oh the people were awesome the park is beautiful they did fireworks over the lake where the most amazing fireworks I have ever seen in my life were displayed.”
Very Nice Beautiful park.. There is a lovely view of the lake with a nice trail going around it. Make sure to wear good shoes if you're going around the trail. No pets allowed at the park otherwise it would've been a 5 star!

This is such a calming, relaxing park. There is a lot of tree cover. There are several pavilions and play areas. As well as the path around the lake.
Well demarcated trail. 1 mile loop around the lake. Many people fishing trout. Bathroom access. Only problem is that no dogs allowed
