Confirmed from Little Lake 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.
Community park with athletic courts & fields, a playground, wading pools & a picnic area.

“Best part is that it’s calm, clean, plenty to do for both kids and adults.”
I love this park. Nice quiet little park. Cannot use most of the park because of no gatherings etc. (Covid) however you can still sit at their benches and walk the paths. Short walk from florence/Norwalk. Ample parking considering it was practically deserted.
Spacious Park alot of grass to run around . Baseball fields . Restrooms Available
