Confirmed from Lions 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.
Park for families featuring swings and picnic tables, as well as basketball and salmon.
What runners say about Lions Park
“Very beautiful place to walk and the restrooms is clean well kept up and very quiet and peaceful, the park also has swings and basketball court.”
Very pretty scenery when walking 2 small bridges. Found a waterfall dam at end of one walk bridge...pretty stream running through park also.
Its just a beautiful place..there is trails and when the salmon start running its an awesome place to fish
Great place to eat lunch or walk the dog while seeing fish running up the stream !
Has a pavilion with several picnic tables, nice place to have your family gatherings. Fishing or taking a stroll in the woods through the path is an option. Always cleaned and mowed. Has bathroom facilities but building is locked 24/7. Most likely available if requested for gathering or event. Plenty of parking space.
