We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Lake Ponca 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 with a playground, disc-golf course & enclosed fishing dock, plus picnic tables & a swim beach.

Clean and peaceful. Baltimore Oriole birds are nesting there. I don't see them very often. That was cool. We walked around the east side. There is a big hill by the spillway but the ground was not lumpy. It looks like it was prepared with gravel for vehicles at some point. It's a beautiful area.
Seems like such a nice place. Took our dogs out here for a walk. Wish I could afford to live out here. 🙂

“I'm glad they added the new restrooms, but I fear they may remove the old ones, so I pray 🙏 that they don't!”
