Confirmed from Lemon Grove 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.

What runners say about Lemon Grove Park

well-maintained 3 mentions

“This park it's well maintained, with good green 💚 areas, the playground it's in good conditions, plenty of 🌳 trees, and the grass ready for a family picnic.”

🌳 shaded & cool 5 mentions

“Shaded swings, ADA swing, shaded play structures, fun interactive elements, and no one else here at 10am on a Saturday.”

I love this park. I've been going here since I was a kid. Lots of parking and plenty big. They have a full basketball court and room to play football in the grass field area. Limited gazebos with more picnic tables. Big kid toys and a smaller playground. Only 2 swings with no baby swing.

★★★★★ — Ashley , Jun 2023

Amazing park that you can seat in with your family for a pick nick. If you fancy to take a run this is the place for you. You will fill your cup with joy if you feed the ducks 😉 😀

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

🚻 Restrooms 12 mentions

“Restrooms don't have soap so bring sanitizer, but at least they have doors and toilet paper.”
