Confirmed from Lake Judy 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.

“Well utilized and fairly well maintained.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Pretty, peaceful and clean”

Such a great park!! You have the playground, walking path and wooded area for kids to explore! Perfect for small kids and older kids!

★★★★★ — Lydia , Apr 2019

Great variety for such a small park. They have a nice pavillion and decent playground. Half court for basketball on hill, and circle of trail to walk around a small pond. Lake to the side and dirt trails all over for kids to run on. Hill looks great for sledding in winter.

★★★★☆ — Jennifer , Mar 2023

Simple park, only street parking with a half basketball court, a small kid playground, big kid play ground, two table open shelter, and walking trails with bench swings facing the lake. Only portapotty, no running water

★★★★★ — Gina , Jul 2024

Though small it is a very nice Park to come visit with small children or go for a scenic walk for all ages.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
