Confirmed from King-Lincoln 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.
Featuring a beach, this park offers basketball & tennis courts, playgrounds & picnic shelters.

Very relaxing park nearby the dock to go fishing. The ability to sit and walk along the shoreline a little bit. Great views of the marina and shipping activities.
I grew up here so this Park will always be a treasure to me. Definitely a great poo place to go fishing 🎣 on the pier or late evening walks with your partner. Playground is is clean 😀
