Confirmed from Lincolnwood Centennial 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.
Recreational green space offering a disc-golf course, walking paths & creative, modern sculptures.
What runners say about Lincolnwood Centennial Park
“This walking path is very scenic and mostly well kept except for occasional garbage overflow after special occasions or weekends.”
Disc golf course isn't anything special, but it's much better than nothing. 9 short to medium holes with minimal obstacles. A few sculptures add some nice atmosphere.
Usually a great walking path. Installation of a new "sludge pipe" is currently disrupting the tranquility.
This is a great place to head to if your looking for a wide-open park to ride a bike or go for a walk or run. It also has a family friendly dusk golf course with 9 holes which run in a straight line so if you want to play 18 you do the second nine backwards. I recommend the Udisk app for this.
This walking path is very scenic and mostly well kept except for occasional garbage overflow after special occasions or weekends. I feel that they should schedule garbage pick up early on Mondays. Otherwise this is a great and enjoyable walking path.
