We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Lake Pointe Hall, Colonel Francis Beatty Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Park and pond with playgrounds and picnic spots that also hosts weddings, receptions and other events.

“Beautiful park with lots of hiking trails, fishing and a hall to rent out for weddings or other special events.”
My wedding was a true dream here!!! It looked fabulous!! I got married May 26th 2024. I'm leaving this review based on different aspects: VENUE: IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! Hydrangeas lined the walkway, all the flowers were in bloom, and all the bushes were manicured. The trellis also looked amazing and well kept.
One of my favorite parks. Has playgrounds lake ball fields courts trails and a nice pond for fishing and more.
Beautiful park with lots of hiking trails, fishing and a hall to rent out for weddings or other special events. They are open late. Some nights until 10:00 so if it is too hot to fish during the day, you can go when the sun goes down.
Had quite a few people here but was able to avoid people with no problems. Had a nice peaceful two her walk through the woods.
