Confirmed from Lawrence 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.
Clean, well-kept area featuring 18-hole disc golf, climbs, ziplines and a playground.
What runners say about Lawrence Park
“They have a disc golf course and a climbing wall, a nice little pavilion covering plenty of picnic tables, and a nice little playground feature that are all well maintained.”
“There is plenty of space to let children run and play, plus picnic tables, a playground, restrooms, and beautiful scenery.”
“Awesome walking trails for people of all ages including dogs.”
Beautiful park! Frisbee golf course takes you into the trees and the walking path along the river is great! Lots of fun for kiddos! I just wish more people in our community cleaned up after themselves while visiting here.
So much to take pictures of if you park and walk the walking trails that go way back. There is a foot bridge over the river that is a fun hike. From an osprey eating a fish to a small bird fighting to eat a moth that just wouldn't give up there was so much to enjoy!
Seems like a great park. A few playground areas for kids, picnic pavilions, disc golf course, nice nature trail. Plenty of grass fields. Paved Bike and walking path.
has a area for get togethers/events with a huge grassed area (which is currently blanketed in dandelions, the epitome of spring) there are several playgrounds, grilling areas for events, and two smallish climbing walls. over all, its a gorgeous family-friendly all inclusive park.
