Confirmed from LaBonte 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.
Public park offering picnic pavilions, a playground, walking trails, a pond, and a skate park.
What runners say about LaBonte Park
“However, the skate park has been recently updated and the ballfields are well maintained.”
“Stopped in Laramie and found this peaceful park to rest and walk around the lake and refresh for more driving.”
We visit Labonte daily with our dog. It has excellent open space, walking paths, and a recently rebuilt skate park. Tons of greenery and old trees make for a very pleasant view during sunrise, sunset, and the abundance of clear sunny days. The lake attracts ducks, geese, and pelicans.
A block away from me it's a nice place to take a walk and just relax. Clean and kept up and sometimes just like to watch the kids on their skateboards!
I was driving cross country with my dog and needed a break. Stopped in Laramie and found this peaceful park to rest and walk around the lake and refresh for more driving. I recommend it for travelers. Get a sandwich in town and picnic out here. It is not crowded or noisy, like rest stops can be.
Beautiful park with a nice pond in the middle that the locals call Stink Lake. Why stink lake you ask? Because in july-aug timeframe it smells atrocious. The rest of the time however, it's s beautiful park with playgrounds, walking areas, and trees for shade. Great place to take your kids or your dog.
