Confirmed from Lake Ida East 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.
This 20-acre lakeside park features fishing & boating, plus a playground, picnic areas & restrooms.

Lake Ida Park (including dog park) is just beautiful, maintained very well, and has something for every age. Of course the dog park is our favorite place - we have 3 dogs. There are also many pavilions for outside (covered) events such as BBQ's, parties, etc. There are beautiful walking/jogging trails.
What a terrific park, it’s a hidden gem inside a neighborhood. There are tons of shaded areas to hang out, it is very kid friendly, they will have a ball. It’s never crowded, and the restrooms are very well-maintained. It’s a great place to go jet skiing and just to get away from it all.
Quiet out of the way Park as long as there's not a show in the playhouse. Bathroom, picnic tables, playground. Nice walk with lake on 3 sides and benches
