Confirmed from Lakeview 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.

Scenic

Spacious community park offering various athletic fields, multiple playgrounds & a splash pad.

“What a nice, beautiful, big, open public park with nice paths and scenery!”

Lakeview Park is great resource for Middleton! Right off Allen Blvd with lots of easy parking. In the warm months, the disc golf course is challenging but not too challenging…and a nice cool location with lots of trees! The city has redone the picnic shelter and play area.

★★★★★ — Aj , Feb 2023

Went for the disc golf and loved it! Quiet 9 hole course that was enjoyable and good for little kids. The first and ninth holes were closer to the parking lot, and two-eight were down a path adjacent to the water retention area. The course was free to play, and we will be back!

★★★★★ — Megan , Aug 2022

What a nice, beautiful, big, open public park with nice paths and scenery! There's a clearwater pond in the middle with seaweed and an abundance of fish! There are docks spread throughout the pond that you can walk out onto. There are native plants growing around the pond and in the park, in general!

★★★★★ — Reannah , Sep 2020

This park is a gem. The shelter is home to a wife variety of community activities. The playground is in great condition. The splash pad is an amazing way to beat the heat. The pond has hungry bluegill for young anglers. The tennis courts and baseball diamond look to be in great condition.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
