Confirmed from Lake Lisa 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.
Green space by the water providing a playground, covered picnic tables & a basketball court.
What runners say about Lake Lisa Park
“Beautiful park with nicely paved walking/ biking trails, great green spaces, lots of play spaces for kids (and lots of kids were there!”
This park was nice before the remodeling, but now it is awesome. They still have the adult work out area down the walking path, but it's so nice now with everything they added. The swing area has to be my favorite since they added the parent and baby swing combo.
We went here for the first time since it was remodeled and we loved it. There’s so much to do. Music station, rope climbing, swings under shade, a swing zip line, merry go arounds (yes 2 of them!), a huge play ground for ages 2-5 and 5-12. Bathrooms are available.
A great place to go fly a kite says my youngest. We also watched a guy fly a little RC plane around. It’s an over all nice, open space except nearer the parking lot. Great walking trail. Poor marks for where someone let their dog dig a hole at the picnic tables and usage of the N-word on the court.
Beautiful park with nicely paved walking/ biking trails, great green spaces, lots of play spaces for kids (and lots of kids were there!) everything from settings, slides, and monkey bars to a basketball court! They are dog-friendly, too!
Trail conditions & character
“What they could improve is making the bathrooms open air as they are extremely hot in summer with no ventilation so I had to hold thr outside door open.”

“And water fountains to drink from and fill water bottles.”
