Confirmed from Joseph Lawrence 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.
Park with a playground, picnic tables, and baseball field, plus trails and summer fireworks.
What runners say about Joseph Lawrence Park
“The park was nice I did not get a chance to walk the whole trail however it's very clean and during the day pretty tranquil.”
Awesome place!!! They have a paved path as well as an off pavement trail. The bridge path takes about 20 minutes to walk. It's especially nice on hot sunny days as the trail is shaded and much cooler to walk.
Great park for kids and kids at heart. They have a play ground and bike path. Also a baseball field. Great when your there to watch a game the little ones can play. Only draw back right now is there is a pile of rocks that the little ones like to pick up and throw. A accident waiting to happen.
The park was nice I did not get a chance to walk the whole trail however it's very clean and during the day pretty tranquil. Nice park if you want to get a nice walk/run in.
It's a nice park that's pretty clean besides their bathrooms. They have trails you can walk.. festivities during the summer. Great fireworks
