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.
What runners say about Lenker Park
“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!
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.
Excellent Township Park with lighted Tennis courts, street hockey rink, basketball courts, Multiple children play areas, picnic pavilion and Walking path.
The park is clean and well maintained. It also has plenty of shade and it's spaced out where everyone can feel socially distanced.

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
