Confirmed from LBA 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.
Venue with baseball fields, basketball & tennis courts, a playground & picnic areas.
What runners say about LBA Park
“A lovely hidden gem with plenty of space, a clean atmosphere, lots of equipment to entertain and adequate seating.”
I always love going here. I like that they keep up to date on everything there. Something that I found out a while back is that this park is much bigger than it appears. They have these trails in the forest then we found the actual property marker of the park. It was a pretty cool experience.
Well kept park. Lots of area to walk or run. Nice play area for little kids and older kids too. Dog friendly; keep on a leash and pick up after them.
Nice trails, both paved and not. Some go steeply up and down but those are avoidable. Baseball fields, futball (soccer), tennis, running. Water fountains, bathrooms, playgrounds for the kiddies. It's got it all
Hiking, ball fields, off leash dog area, jungle gym, and yes, a zip slide. All.The.Things. Beloved local park and it’s easy to see why.
Trail conditions & character
“Hiking, ball fields, off leash dog area, jungle gym, and yes, a zip slide.”
“The bathrooms need a good cleaning/ pressure washing as there was a TON of bird poop in the female restroom.”
“Parking is a little tight uptop but there is a second parking lot on the other side by the playground ( shhh it's a secret )”
“There are also a multitude of trails with loop backs and multiple different routes to shorten or extend the length of your walk/jog/hike around the park.”
“Water fountains, bathrooms, playgrounds for the kiddies.”
