Confirmed from Laurelwood 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 Laurelwood Park
It's a good place to walk my dog so I come here pretty often. I rarely see other people in here but there's a decent field for recreational sports and a covered picnic area with a BBQ.
Cool little secluded park. Neat spot to hang and or just walk. I never even knew it was there. Nothing special. Just a great little location
Me and my husband and our dogs have been going here since we moved in about a year ago very clean very cute lots of blackberries to pick lots of room for the dogs to run again poo bags and leashes please
Trail conditions & character
“A great place to let our dogs be dogs without the fear of people whom are not dog friendly.”
