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
“Not a huge park, but a quaint and beautiful complete with a “waterfall” to boost!”
“Plenty of shade, lots water, cant say enough dope stuff about this place.”
Such a jewel. Always a peaceful walk with great nature around. Not a huge park, but a quaint and beautiful complete with a “waterfall” to boost! I wish I could post a video so you can truly appreciate it!
Had a great walk along some wooded trails bordering a small lake and falls area. Crappie, bream, catfish, and largemouth bass in the lake above the falls. Shaded parking among the trees as well as spots near a small pavilion.
I absolutely love coming here if I ever need some alone time. It’s so peaceful and in a beautiful neighborhood. I’m so lucky I’m in walking distance when I come to visit. 🥰
Dont wear your Adidas sandals or crocs if you plan on traversing the rocks, THEY ARE MAD SLIPPERERY <---I said what I said.😁 This place is beyond dope! Make sure to spy the old school rock wall on the other side of the creek between the two lakes. Saw a blue heron....majestic as you know what!
