Confirmed from Lanierland 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 baseball, soccer, tennis, and walking, as well as picnic tables and a playground.

“It is at the top of the hill and relatively no shade, so just be prepared to dress accordingly to the weather.”
“Wonderful, paved walking trail, dog friendly, and the playground is well fenced in.”
This is a great park in the making! My 5 year old loves the "purple playground" and as a parent I do as well. It has a built-in shade and a nice layout. The new walking/running trail is a great addition as well. I look forward to watching the this park continue to grow.
Great place to bring your kids on the trail. This is a well kept and beautiful park.
So fun! The playground is great and the soccer fields are super nice! The baseball diamonds look great too. Wonderful, paved walking trail, dog friendly, and the playground is well fenced in. It's got appropriate equipment for both toddlers and older kids, and has some ada accessible equipment as well.
One of our favorite places to go! Great for the entire family young and younger! Plenty of parking and space to run around in the fresh air! Really beautiful at night for a game!
