Confirmed from Lurker 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 sports courts and fields, as well as picnic tables, restrooms, and a playground.
What runners say about Lurker Park
“Very cute park, lots of recreation options, and well maintained.”
Love going to this part. Well maintained and the walking trail is good. It also has multiple restrooms and a kids play area. Only downside is that there are not too many trees in the walking path so if you go during peak summer hours you may melt away :)
Trail conditions & character
“The snack bar looked newer with lots of picnic tables, but the restrooms were very dark with no light fixtures inside.”
“Vending machines and parking on the premises.”
