Confirmed from Mallard 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.
Disc golf course, kids' playground, lake views and hills.

This is great open park in Caldwell by lake Lowell with great views to bring your family for a picnic, play frisbee golf and play basketball. Covered picnic areas for your group to gather together and eat nice barbecue food. Small Tot lot for the kudos to play on.
Super cute park with a walking path. Close to the lake but not on it, so no waterfront views. Playground for the kids and several covered picnic tables for eating. Super.clean and well maintained with good parking. Disc golf course too. Only downside, not much shade, so be sure to bring sunscreen.
Great place for the family to exercise or unwind together. There is a nice playground, access to restrooms, a basketball court, and discus golf. Lots of green grass for kids and pets to run out their energy. Nice picnic benches at the playground, and at least one sheltered pavilion with table.
Love the views of the lake and my kids love the park! There are benches attached to tables and walking paths too. For those who enjoy disc golf, there is a fun course.
