Confirmed from Kendrick Lake 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.
Grass-covered park featuring a playground, baseball diamond and water fountain, plus a paved walking path.

I ended up at Kendrick Lake Park completely by accident and I am glad I did!! There was a storm I was chasing through the area and I wanted to go somewhere good for the sunset so I ended up here!

Hey there! I’ve found a fantastic public park in Lakewood, right between Wadsworth and Kipling. It’s got a lovely 1.2-mile paved trail around the lake, perfect for enjoying the outdoors all year round. The views are stunning, and it’s usually not too crowded, making it a great spot for a peaceful stroll.
Wonderful Place with Amazing Views This place is absolutely wonderful and beautiful, with an amazing view — especially now and during the summer. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys nature and scenic spots!
