Confirmed from Lake Terramere 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.
Playground and lake park with swings, slides and picnic tables, ideal for kids.
What runners say about Lake Terramere Park
“Very nice and quiet place with big playgrounds for kids”
Great play ground for little ones, lake is pretty, people fish, jog,walk dogs. A neighborhood jewel!
This is an awesome place to spend time with kids, friends or family. A beautiful lake view, an interesting playground, trees, grass - many place to seat and have a good time. Also you can walk around and see great old houses and so on. So, have a good time here!
Fantastic place to swing in the rain; the sound of raindrops on the lake is so soothing. Generally seems to be popular with the kids during normal child hours, too, and there's a large open grassy area in which to run or play sports or what have you.
My Granddaughters love the park and the lake. Great place for me to walk.
