Confirmed from Legacy 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.
Tranquil park known for its paved trail and views.
What runners say about Legacy Park
“This park needs more water fountains, a restroom, and charging stations other then that walking around this park is beautiful and fun”
Quiet. Another Beautiful Ocala Park worth walking and watching the Ducks.
Legacy Park is a small park in the SW section of Ocala just off of SR200. The park has a concrete path around the entire area, there is a small duck pond on the north side of the park that often has ducks and wading birds in it.
Nice half mile paved loop to walk or run, good trees and usually lots of birds. Two pull up bars, a row station, and a shoulder press workout station, each along the path. Gravel parking lot.
Clean. Felt safe. Lots of motivational plaques along the walkway. This is a nice walking trail to take your pup.
