Confirmed from Lingle 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.

“Basic park but clean and spacious enough with plenty of parking.”

This playground was just rebuilt in 2016 and it's very nice since they updated it. It has a lot of room to run and it also has a dog park. It has a bathroom and a water fountain. It has baseball fields and a basketball court.

★★★★★ — Miranda , Mar 2017

A wonderful playground for kids, fun unique equipment tucked back away, truly a hidden gem. Picnic tables under a pavilion with grills make the perfect lunch/dinner spot. There is an awesome nature trail and baseball fields. Overall, a clean, wonderful family fun park!

★★★★★ — Liv , Oct 2022

Basic park but clean and spacious enough with plenty of parking. Playground for kiddos and sports fields. Neighbors with Kohl Memorial Park which has tennis courts, more sports fields, a nice dog park, and basketball hoops, not to mention the small hiking trail.

★★★★☆ — Steve , Jan 2023

This park check off all the boxes of a good playground. Lots of swings, slides, a pavillion, open fields, and a little nature trail connecting it to Kohl Park. No restroom, but they have a portapotty.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
