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.
Public park with a playground and picnic pavilion, plus restrooms and a practice field.

It's a classic, old-school, park - small playground with traditional equipment, pavilion and picnic tables, lots of trees and wide-open spaces for walks or pick up games or may sitting under trees reading or watching for trains.
Great wide open space for the kids to run! We are here all the time!!!!
