Confirmed from Laurel Acres 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.
Community park with a small fishing lake & a nature trail, plus baseball, volleyball & a dog run.

“Love this park—it’s family-friendly, safe, and always clean.”
Awesome park! Super clean, really spacious. Lots of open areas, paths, and a small lake where people were fishing. 3 playgrounds: a separate tot lot and 2 bigger ones. So many fun things here! Spinning chairs, zip lines, fun swings teater totter, music area, daring slides and more. All fenced in and softly padded.
This park is absolutely amazing! It's the ultimate spot to chill, enjoy a great book, have a lovely picnic, take a leisurely stroll with a furry friend, go for a refreshing run, catch a breathtaking sunset, witness the joyful laughter of kids playing, and gather with loved ones.
Awesome playgrounds for all ages! Toddler aged playground and toddler aged play stuff on the bigger play areas! Big and small slides! Lots of swings! Beautiful trails to walk or bring a stroller! We passed a dog park on the way in too! Lots of parking! Benches for tired or pregnant parents. Picnic areas to eat too!
