Confirmed from La Paloma Park, Valley-Wide Recreation and 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.
Lakefront neighborhood park offering a lake-view path for walking and biking, swings and slides.

“Well kept and provides a playground, restrooms and plenty of parking.”

A small neighborhood park with a great paved walkway for strollers, wagons, walkers, runners, scooters, bicycles, or runners! There is lots of grass and a small playground area with swings and shady benches.
Walking/running/ riding around this little lake is so nice. The playground looks old and not her exciting or safe but other than that, it's great!!
Large park next to a lake and pool (open during summer). Well kept and provides a playground, restrooms and plenty of parking. As well as workout equipment along the path surrounding the lake. Lots of cute 🦆 also.
It’s a very nice park with a lot of tables and grills, views on the lake and access to trail. Very enjoyable.
