Confirmed from Leonard 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.
Family-friendly spot featuring ball fields and a playground, plus shelters and picnic tables.
What runners say about Leonard Park
“Beautiful 🤩 place very well kept up…”
“Great for all ages- my daughter is 15 months and there were kids half her age there having fun.”
Nice clean park. Large playground with a 'play musical instruments' place towards the back. There are restrooms near the playground, picnic shelters, tennis court, volleyball court, place to throw horse shoes, table with built-in checker board (with chairs), & outdoor ping ping table!
Excellent family park with playground (upgraded circa 2012), long walking loop, baseball field, and small amphitheater. Parking is along the residential street and not usually a problem except nicest weekends of the year. Visible fire department, police station, and church add sense of safety. Stroller friendly.
I work in speedway and this is one of my go to places to get a little exercise on the paved walking trail. There is also a little free library that has been used for both books and for non perishable foods. We have brought my 3 year old son here a few times and he loves it.
Such a fun, clean little park. Great for all ages- my daughter is 15 months and there were kids half her age there having fun. They have little swings and a smaller child gym as well as bigger equipment for older kids. Really a great community.
