Confirmed from Lenker 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.

Local park featuring picnic tables, a playground, basketball and tennis courts, and a skate rink.

well-maintained 5 mentions

“It’s tucked away from traffic and is really really clean.”

Lenker park is a wonderful playground with fun, new equipment. It has a nice walking path, basketball courts, tennis courts and exercise equipment for adults. Great for the whole family!

★★★★★ — Liv , Jun 2022

Nice quiet park. Play area for kids and and exercise area for others. I use the walking trail which goes all around the park. Nice little stream in the wooded area.

★★★★☆ — Justin , Feb 2022

Excellent Township Park with lighted Tennis courts, street hockey rink, basketball courts, Multiple children play areas, picnic pavilion and Walking path.

★★★★★ — Tim , Jun 2017

The park is clean and well maintained. It also has plenty of shade and it's spaced out where everyone can feel socially distanced.

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.
