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.

What runners say about Lions Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (145 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 4 mentions

“the playscape is so nice amd the park is very clean!”

🏃 great for running 2 mentions

“A great place to let the kids run out all of that extra energy.”

Nice clean park with newer playground equipment. My daughter loves to visit this park every time we ride our bikes. Lincoln Park needs to enforce the no dogs allowed rule here. I've almost seen dogs get into a fight here before.

★★★★★ — Joseph , Jan 2017

I love coming here. There's plenty for the kids to get into as far as a small park goes. It could be better kept and that's the only reason for the 4/5 stars. Some of the landscaping is falling apart and is left that way but other than that, there's plenty of space to run, ramps, monkey bars, swings, a little wall for…

★★★★☆ — Cynthia , Sep 2021

Great park with tons of things to do. A great variety for children of various ages and abilities. There were specialized swings for children. There is a lot of space in this park with a lot of area to walk. There are attached baseball diamonds also.

★★★★★ — Danielle , Nov 2021

Nice clean and quiet. Just shy of 10 minutes to walk a lap at a brisk pace. Unless the high tension electric lines or the propane line access valve bother you.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
