Confirmed from LaBelle 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.
What runners say about LaBelle Park
“It's a beautiful, well-kept park with a nice paved path around the pond that's suitable for waking or running.”
A lovely quiet little park with a great playground for kids, a little walking trail along a picturesque pond (with fountains) and a plaque dedicating the park to the soldier who's name it bears.
Nice playground, small parking lot, and a paved walking path around the beautiful little lake. There is a wooden lookout off the sidewalk on 40th. There is a large, covered picnic area down the path on the right (also accessible walking down the steps from the parking lot at the cul-de-sac near the condos in 41st).
Natural wild Minnesota flowers and grasses. Beautiful views and trails. Fun for all ages play ground. Only drawback is that it doesn't have any BBQ Grills but has a pavilion with picnic tables underneath. Has parking and two porta potties.
Excellent walking area and rest place. Fountains are up and running in pond. The frogs are really noisy tonight.
