Confirmed from Licht 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.
Sprawling park for kids with a playground, picnic tables and swings.
What runners say about Licht Park
“Beautiful park to walk, bring the kids, awesome playscape, Pavillion and many picnic tables, clean restrooms.”
“The drawbacks are that the mosquitos can get aggressive in the shaded areas and there are a lot of squirrels that block the path and move out of the way at the last second.”
“Good quiet park & a lot of trees to keep cool for a hot summer.”
UPDATED 2025 Pros: Brand new playground, lots of swings. Cute little free library “castle” that opens like a drawbridge. Now has turf and looks like they redid all the ground surrounding the playground (hopefully to take care of the old drainage issues, but I can't testify to that yet) Many benches.
Tucked in an upscale Warren neighborhood near schools, this park has a nice flat walking/biking/ rollerblading path, lots of picnic tables, a large canopy, and a really great playscape. Also boasts a challenge fitness course. Lovely place to have a picnic 4 seasons.
The kids love this park. They like the play scape especially since it has the longest monkey bars track around. The play scape is a good size and offers plenty of room for tag. Unfortunately when it rains, a lot of the area has large puddles that stick around for a few days.
It's a great place to walk around and relax. It has a obstacle course for people who want to work out and a nice play ground for children.

“I don't currently need to push a stroller when I visit parks, but it seems like even the difficulty of pushing a younger sibling in a stroller has been solved.”
