Confirmed from Lewandowski 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 Lewandowski Park
Nice quiet arboretum in the neighborhood with a variety of trees and a nicely paved 1/2 mile trail through the trees 🌳. Great for walking 🚶🏾♀️, jogging, running 🏃🏾♀️ or cycling 🚴🏾♀️. No play areas, no restrooms and no picnic areas. There are however benches along the trail and 2 well kept flower gardens 🌸 🌺
Nice area to come and walk and sit and be among trees on an island of green in a pretty urban area. Lots of information on what trees are planted here and the history of the land on all the signs. . Signs also say dogs are not allowed but everyone does it anyway.
Lots of trees butterflies and shade. My dog and I enjoyed relaxing here
