Confirmed from Lakewood 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.
What runners say about Lakewood Park
“There’s park seems fairly clean and well maintained.”
I found this nice little park when I was staying at the Best Western in Morton. I walked there, but there’s also a small parking lot for motorists. There’s a walking trail that encircles the pond that includes a StoryWalk for kids. There’s also a kayak launch and some of fishing spots.
