Confirmed from Lindner 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.
Established on the grounds of the historic McCullough Estate, this park features trails, gardens, and a pond.
What runners say about Lindner Park
“Beautiful trails and very well kept open parkway.”
“I was not expecting to find a park here, and I certainly wasn't anticipating it to be so interesting and beautiful!”
“Easy street parking in a quiet residential neighborhood and a free parking lot in the park.”
I was not expecting to find a park here, and I certainly wasn't anticipating it to be so interesting and beautiful! There's roughly a mile of trails, if that matters to you, but more striking are the gardens in the center of the park and the ruins hidden throughout the nearby woods.
This park is amazing. At first I thought it was a basic park until I went down a trail. This park is the definition of hidden beauty. Definitely my new favorite park.
The history of this place is quite interesting. The trail is short, simple, and not difficult. It has a nice size picnic area but very limited parking about 6 or 7 cars max. There are restrooms also!
Had a blast walking around in the rain. The path for a little muddy, but fun to let the kids adventure to what seemed like an old house or jail. I need to look up the story of the park because now I'm interested.
