Confirmed from Legends 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.
Expansive park featuring woods and a lake, plus a playground and tennis courts.
What runners say about Legends Park
We had a great time exploring all of the trails and seeing the trees and the lake. We also had a great discussion about what we can do with the park in terms of tourism, natural preservation and educational opportunities. We need to make sure that all the trails are open, accessible and safe.
Very large and expansive park. It's actually 3 different parts. The very front part, closest to walnut hill, has playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball courts, and picnic tables.
