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.
100-acre park featuring playgrounds, a pond, picnic facilities, softball fields, a dog park & more.
What runners say about Lions Park
“The playground for the younger crowds is clean, well maintained and SHADED!”
“Beautiful park with walking paths, dog park, multiple playgrounds, baseball diamonds and even horseshoe pits.”
“This was a pleasant little experience, I had no idea the park was there it has a dog part plenty of parking and nice shaded areas”
I walk to this park from my home. There are some challenging hills which I enjoy. There are always people here playing disc golf and jogging, and the playgrounds are vast and covered for the little ones. There are horseshoe pits and 2 doggie play areas. A great place for family get-togethers.
Always enjoyable to go here. Multiple activities are here. Even if it's just watching the beautiful sunsets. Go there and enjoy, take the whole family. It's fun. 5 stars is the rating that I give. Today was a special day that I stumbled onto. The Central Texas Long Board Club was here practicing today.
Beautiful park with walking paths, dog park, multiple playgrounds, baseball diamonds and even horseshoe pits.
