Confirmed from Les Zeiger 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.
Laid-back park featuring basketball courts, baseball fields and a jogging trail.
What runners say about Les Zeiger Park
“Community friendly, large well kept field for activities as well as the baseball fields.”
“Since it's hot after 9am you need to go early in the morning are late evening because it not that much shade and trees when you do that stretch long walk.”
“As the owner of Pampered Pooch Events, I host dog-friendly events all over the metroplex—and I was surprised to find there isn’t a real dog park within a 10-mile radius.”
Great area, to play with children, clean restrooms, a good place to just walk around. We had a great time at the pop up shop. The live entertainment was good and we danced. Good time all around!
Great park, it's huge, spacious, updated, clean and fun, very inviting. Has various sections such as a walking/ running trail (huggeeee), Sports areas like Baseball & Basketball, a Fitness area, a Playground for kids, spacious sitting areas, amazing scenic views and nice pavilions to eat and bbq.
I love this park for its paved trail. Friendly neighbors walk or run the trail which the outer loop is about .8 miles. There is a playground area, workout station, and ample green space to set up a volleyball net or get in a game of flag football.
Plenty of space to do anything you want (legal), love the little equipment area as well as the walking trail, everything is open & spacious. Will post pics next time I go, kids had a blast. 1st time visiting will definitely return
