Confirmed from Lesko 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 Lesko Park
“Took morning stroll while it was cool out and it was still dark out but park well lit and clean nice blacktop path to walk on along the ohio river”
“Great place along the river great views and a playground for the kids park benches for the relaxing views”
“There is a running-biking track, a playground for kids and some benches and picnic tables in the shade.”
Great walking trail along the river. Really enjoyed seeing all the commutative tributes on the lamp posts. Plenty of covered areas for picnics, benches for leisure sitting, and a small playground. Loved the foliage in September. Lots of shade trees along the walkway.
Great place to park and eat a meal, go for a woalk/run. Or even do some bank fishing. The nice park is great for the kids, the pavilions have plenty of space, I'd say for about 20 people. The Vietnam memorial is cool. Bathrooms are easily accessible.
Stopped by Lesko Park for a walk along the Ohio River. There is a lovely walkway that trails along the river. I am fortunate to be here on the perfect day. If you enjoy walks by the water then this is a wonderful relaxing walk. Very enjoyable!
It was a lovely, well-maintained park with a nice walking trail, picnic tables and restrooms. The views of the Ohio River and Kentucky were nice.
