We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Lions Den Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about Lions Den Park
“Everything is well kept, and it’s a great place for families to spend some time outside.”
Lions den park of New Lenox is A very well-kept park with lots to offer. Large Playground area, sand volleyball pits, baseball fields, large grassy area to throw a ball around and there’s even a brand new grill for some bbq’n! It’s also right next to the Old Plank Trail, a beautiful tree lined bike/walking path.
This is a very nice park located right off the Old Plank Trail. It’s a great spot to stop if you’re out walking or biking. The park has a baseball field and a really nice playground that’s perfect for younger kids. They also have a grill available, which makes it a great place for small cookouts or family gatherings.
This is not the your favorite trucker's Lions Den. There are no "couples accessories" here, just a park. I mean it's a nice park...I'm sure a trucker would like to get some exercise walking or running around, maybe playing a game of catch with another friendly trucker or a pickup game of basketball with some local…
Nice park with walking trails nearby. Seems to have a very friendly atmosphere!
