Confirmed from Lion's 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.
Green space on 6.15 acres offering a picnic facility & children's playground, plus trails & benches.
What runners say about Lion's Park
“Very clean and well maintained, my 5 yo granddaughter loves the swings, slides and fun stuff to play on.”
**no splash pad** This is a small park located next to a housing development in a Sartell. It is relatively easy to find, though it is inside a group of houses, so I did miss the street entrance one time. There appears to be a walking path connected to the park, 2 dedication benches (donated?
Truly a gem in the heart of Sartell. Just over 6 acres of wooded grounds with a large playground area, picnic tables and benches. A paved trail with rail assistance is available thru out the park, even offering a short nature walk along the Watab River.
Lions park is such a clean quiet park....it has a fun play structure, sand area, and paved trails around the wooded area. It also has a porta potty in the parking area......
This is one of my favorite local parks to take my 5 year old to. Nice landscaping and a cute walking trail. The equipment is for your preschool through maybe 2nd grade age kid as far as really holding their attention.
