Confirmed from Lawndale 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.

“Walking /running trail is always clean .”

Nice family park. Good sidewalks to walk around a d get your exercise and a playground for the kiddos. A covered bench area for large gatherings as well. Very nice park. Love it. ❤️ Has only four stars because it needs more trees, that's the only drawback.

★★★★☆ — Debra , Feb 2025

Decent walking path. Lots of small ants, don't stand still on the edges of the track. Seems like the field is free of them. Football and cheerleading practices without incident.

★★★★★ — Justin , Sep 2019

Absolutely a fun and safe place to play with your kids on a fantastic playground or run around on the open field or enjoy a nice stroll around the field on a sidewalk.

★★★★★ — Jessica , Feb 2019

Awesome playground with soft grass turf under it. Huge field and a large, paved walking path around it. Also has recycling bins for the community.

★★★★★ — Erica , Oct 2021

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
