Confirmed from Lamplight 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.
Park offering a playground, picnic tables, and basketball court, as well as a pavilion.

Super cute neighborhood park! Great play ground, fields to run in and basketball courts. I absolutely love that it is in the middle of a neighborhood!
