Confirmed from Lake Forest 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.
City park with a gazebo, walking track, lake, playground, and facilities for disc golf.
What runners say about Lake Forest Park
“They had a real nice brick bullilding with separate bathrooms for men and women that were actually clean and stocked.”
“This park is so beautiful and wide open it's great just for a stroll or fishing and much more.”
So definitely a beautiful park. Pretty good playground area for the kiddos. Lot of walking area for all with tons of grass. Good bathrooms. Pavilion with tables for sitting down and eating in the shade. Lots of tree access if you want to relax in the shade close to the playground to watch the kids play.
One of my favorite parks in henderson. It's clean and has a beautiful walking track. It's kept up and there are beautiful flowers everywhere, plus a beautiful little lake with a gazebo.
Nice park. Well taken care of and clean. Good for walks and fishing with friends and family. Slides and kids playgrounds and right next to the police department. Safe
I've been making memories here with my kids for years. It's a beautiful park with lots to offer. Many places for kids to play. A large walking path. Gorgeous foliage. A disc golf course. A stage for live music. A gazebo on the water. And live ducks to feed and fish to catch. Kids love it.
