Confirmed from Lakeshore 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.
Spacious park surrounding a lake, featuring walking trails & fishing.
What runners say about Lakeshore Park

“Great to relax and watch the ducks, have a good walk and even great for a nice jog.”

Beautiful park. A quiet and peaceful breeze emanates from all corners of the water that serves as home to some adorable ducks of all color and sizes. I am new to the area, and I am glad I came upon Lakeshore Park.
This is another good park to go to at Newark. Expect many geese to come by here since it’s believed that they live here. You’ll see many of them and maybe rare ones that you don’t see often. I really like the lake here because it looks nice.
Nice lake view for walking, jogging and biking. The entire loop is about 1 mile. Beautiful sunset view in the park 🌅. Limited parking spots but has multiple entrances in the community.
Beautiful park with 1.25 miles paved loop around the lake. I love coming here to see the sunset, it offers amazing views. Plenty of parking at the entrance.
