Confirmed from Lions Coon Creek 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.
Accessible, 15-acre park with picnic shelters, basketball courts, play equipment, a garden & trails.

Love the well maintained walking paths and proximity to the creek! Nice wooded area with plenty of picnic spots and ample bathrooms. Great newly remodeled playground for the kids with a basketball court and baseball area. Very scenic! Excellent roofed barbecue areas for large parties.

Cute park with nice walking paths and nature. The creek is perfect for watching wildlife.
