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.
Laid-back park for picnics and sledding, featuring a splash pad and a playground.
What runners say about Lions Park
“Although there was major storm damage a week beforehand but they did clean up a lot of it.”
“Really beautiful park with ample playground equipment, a picnic area & a nice splash pad for the kiddies!”
Well we love the splash pad on the hot days. They have a fun park for the kids to play and have a walking path😀. Come out and enjoy what Lion's Park has to offer. Maybe we'll see you there.
It's beautiful with a walking path all around. In the summer there is a little area where the wee ones can play and get some relief from the hot day.
The splash pad here is very awesome. Took a 2 yr old and an 11 yr old here and both had fun. Keep your eyes out for nanny's that stare at their phone and dont Pau attention to the kids. Had a small problem but once addressed, she made the child apologize and they left for the day.
Fun for all the Family. Has a volleyball court, basketball court, gaga ball court, swings, trail to walk, and places to fish.
Trail conditions & character
“Splash pad, basketball court, restrooms, and pavilions make for a pretty decent park.”
