Confirmed from Lakeside 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.
Relaxed spot by the Intracoastal featuring a sandy beach, shaded walks and playground.
What runners say about Lakeside Park
“The park is clean, easy to access, and has a peaceful vibe that makes it perfect for a quick stop or an afternoon hangout.”
“Very clean and hopefully will remain so with beautiful bleached white sand that feels great under your feet.”
“Incredible beach for swimming fishing, benches under a Palm cabana with volleyball court lead you to mangrove like plants that can give you shade.”
“Great place to go to and spend a few hours just enjoying nature and the peace & quiet like you are a long way away.”
“Very dog friendly, but many are off leash near the water (just a warning).”
We didn't catch any fish which would've made my kiddos day but it's a chill place great vibe and scenery. Walking trails and an beach liley area to take yourself a lil dip if youd lile too. Will recommend 👌🏿 👍🏿
Great spot to catch morning sunrise, go for a walk or take the kids to play on their jungle gyms and small beach. Plenty of dog walkers here too for our furry friends. There are picnic tables, benches and basketball courts as well as open grass areas. It really is a beautiful park.
Great little park hidden unless you're a local. Parking area for maybe 12-15 cars, a great walking path that goes from one end of the park to the other. You can walk along the sandy beach in complete solitude as there is nobody around. You can watch the boats go by in the intracoastal waterway.
Very beautiful, quiet park and beach on the intracoastal waterway. The sand is white and fine, and there are a lot of trees for shade along water. The only downside is that there is no public restroom available.
