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.
Family-friendly park featuring a lake with a playground and paddle boat rentals.

Absolute love, I visit and walk 1 new park every town I go to. This place was awesome, pet friendly. Clean facilities, fishing, kayaking. Beautiful serenity park
Beautiful city park. Busy place when the weather is pleasant. Lot to do here, I just stretched out my legs and walked the trail around the lake.
Walked through 7/25/24 July 25, 2024 after dinner at Bejo Sushi in downtown Cheyenne we stopped at Lion Park! April 17, 2020 Stopped in Cheyenne, Wyoming at Lions Park to take a quick walk around the lake/park before heading to Torrington.
Vantastic Community Park! This is a large property with all the bells and whistles including aquatic center with $2 showers, pickleball courts, ball fields, horseshoe pits, volleyball court, mini golf, gardens, lake, hiking and biking trails, picnic tables and grills and more. I had full bars of Verizon 4G LTE Roaming.
