We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Lions Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Simple, well-kept, grassy park featuring a playground, a baseball field, basketball courts and more.
What runners say about Lions Park
“Well maintained lighted baseball fields, outdoor basketball courts and a children's play area.”
Small park with 2 full basketball courts, a full little league baseball field, playground for kids, as well as when cold enough a small ice rink. Building as of writing seems to be shut down with dumpster in front.
The park is nice, although it does lack regular swings. The public restrooms are a huge plus for anyone with little kids I think. There's lots of open area around for kids to run or play ball.
