Confirmed from Lac Lavon 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.
Vast space featuring canoe rack rentals, tennis courts, softball fields, play areas, WiFi & a beach.
What runners say about Lac Lavon Park
“Fantastic fields, well kept playing fields, clean grounds, updated clean facilities, equipment always kept up.”
“Always beautiful very well kept.”
Great place to go walk around has a quite a few walking paths and to parks and a few baseball fields and a volleyball court and a tennis court this place also has a lake which is pretty nice and some woods you can walk through with paved paths and unpaved paths to walk along.
Nice place for an easy walk. I'm recovering from a back injury and was looking for a shorter, level track; this was perfect. Two lakes to enjoy, a big meadow surrounded by tall trees. There a nice playground for the kids. Park connects to Crystal Lake Park, Keller Lake, and the Lac Lavon athletic complex.
Beautiful Park w/pond! Nice big playground for the kids to play in, has lots of play equipment to keep them busy. The trail was paved and if you want to do quick walks or longer walks you can do both! Beautiful scenery, super nice and ckean!
Great park with plenty of shade. The playground is great. There is a pavilion for events, sand volleyball, two horse shoe courts and porta potties. There is a nice walking trail around a pond with various wildlife native to the area.
