Confirmed from Lawrence Township 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.
Soccer-focused park featuring picnic tables, a playground, and a walking path.
What runners say about Lawrence Township Park
“We had our church picnic here, portable restroom facilities were clean, pavilion had electric hook up and many tables.”
An excellent place to walk your dog. It's a long enough loop to wear down lazy dogs like mine on one pass and I would imagine a couple of trips around would calm a high energy dog. People seem to cleanup after their pets which is a good thing since the interior is used as soccer fields.
Good little park with a playground, pavilion, waking trail, and grassy area. Good walking path that's about 1/2 mile long. Grassy area big enough to play with kids or pets!
Nice little park. Just passing through on my way home and needed someplace to walk my dogs. They had waste bags and a dog area. I needed to make the stop to. All they had was a port-a-john. 🤢 Yuck. Normally I wouldn't even consider it, but home was still a couple of hours away. I was shocked!!!
Been here a few times for my son's soccer games. Fields are decently maintained and spaced out well so other games don't spill into each other. As far as the rest of the park goes, it appears to be a well cared for park. Small playground area, picnic area and a walking path which I believe is half a mile long.
