Confirmed from Lakeside Park South'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.
Lakefront park with volleyball courts, picnic tables and playgrounds.
What runners say about Lakeside Park South
“Nice quaint clean park with scenic views!”
“There is a playground, volleyball, fishing, beautiful water and lots of friendly ducks.”
“However, they’re plenty of trees for shade.”
We loved this park! We randomly decided to take a walk at the park and found it full of excitement. Benches alongside the lake to sit and fish a small play ground a volleyball 🏐 net ( the kid's wanted to stop and watch the game) park pavilions, table BBQ pits.
My friend and I belong to a women's walking group. She found this place and it's perfect. There is a playground, volleyball, fishing, beautiful water and lots of friendly ducks. 😊 Great parking. We'll definitely be back‼️💕👣
This a beautiful space that is a hidden gem. Great to view sunsets and get away from the city’s hustle and bustle. I came this past Sunday evening, mediated, journaled and walked the short walking trail. I love It!
We have been coming here for years. There are only a couple of grills and only one covered area, but overall this park is amazing for walking, fishing, meditating, and photo ops...across the street there is also an awesome launch point for kayaks
