Confirmed from Lowenstein 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.
18-acre park featuring open fields, kids' play equipment, picnic shelters & a 1-mi. walking path.

“There is a shaded children's butterfly garden and a natural play area past the normal play area that is well-shaded.”
“Walk path for exercise and dog walking.”
This is an awesome park that we just recently discovered. It has lots of playground equipment and free space to run around. There is also a concrete walking path around the whole park that extends through a little wooded area with two wooden bridges.
This park is pretty dope!! You have places to explore on concrete paths where you could ride a bide, roller blade or just walk. Amazing slides for the bigger kids. Then they have a little park for the littles. They also have a fitness area for kids & it tells you what to do to workout.
We LOVE this park! Even in the summer the picnic pavilions provide ample seating and shade for parents to easily observe their kids. The play equipment itself is NOT shaded at all, but there is something to do for every age! It’s wonderful! The bathrooms are also always clean and well-kept.
This park is fantastic for the family. The playgrounds is clean, lots of space to run around.The trail there is great to walk. The neighborhood is really nice,also. Across from the park there's still some construction but it doesn't take away from the parks atmosphere. Come bring the whole family and enjoy.
