Confirmed from Lakewood Crossing 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.
Wooded park featuring a playground and skatepark, as well as picnic tables.
What runners say about Lakewood Crossing Park
“It is very clean and a welcomed shaded escape for my teen on the swings and my exploring toddler.”
“It is very, very shady over all the picnic tables, almost entire play area, including swing sets!”
This park is very well shaded and provides lots of opportunity for learning as well as play. It is very clean and a welcomed shaded escape for my teen on the swings and my exploring toddler. There is a large gazebo and two age appropriate playgrounds as well as a mini skate park.
We always have a good time here!! Especially on the nature trail! Walking through the woods reminds me of being back home in the country!! It's a great place to get away from the busyness of city life and to clear your head!! The only thing you have to worry about back there are the bike riders zooming by ya!!
I love this place. The trails are right out of a fairy tale. I'm not an experienced hiker at all and go frequently now. It's an easy trail and a beautiful little escape. 🤗 It is a hike and bike, so make sure you're not listening to music too loudly to hear them announcing themselves. Be careful, there are snakes.
Seems like a good park for bmx bc of the spine and half pipe. Has a small box with low down rail for beginner skaters.. all ramps are metal but great shade trees all around to keep the sun off you ...
