Confirmed from Lion’s Memorial 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.
What runners say about Lion’s Memorial Park
“Lovely park with plenty of hiking trails, clean public restrooms, we were there for Soccer games.”
Lovely park with plenty of hiking trails, clean public restrooms, we were there for Soccer games. Grass was a bit long but early in the season so maybe they need another run with a mower. Clean & very impressed with the other courts & fields we saw
I'm really glad my kids play soccer here. Not only are there nice soccer fields here, and usually ample parking, but also lots of really cool hiking trails. Side note: I've found a lot of cool rocks here.
Open soccer field, locked bathrooms top of hill. Gate locked so have to walk to top

“The soccer fields spread out, parking isn't easy, It would definitely be a good idea to find out what field your team is playing on.”
