Confirmed from Osborne 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.
What runners say about Osborne Park
“It's nice, well maintained, great view of the Lake so if you're just walking or your kiddos playing a sport there it's hard to beat.”
“It's nice, well maintained, great view of the Lake so if you're just walking or your kiddos playing a sport there it's hard to beat.”
“It’s family friendly, plenty of parking and actually has a front park and a back park area and little trails to walk through.”
Great all around park. Swimming pool, tennis court, basketball court, baseball fields, and plenty of room. Nice walking path in and out of the small wooded area. Frisbee golf course. Some access to the lake, but erosion has taken it's toll. Great place to watch the sunset over the lake. Update 9/2023.
Nice park, not too big but enough to walk a dog or go in the playground with a kid. The park is neat and clean and at the end of the park there is a beautiful view on the lake.
After being on the road over 10 hours Osborne Park was a nice area to get some steps and stretch our legs. The park is very well maintained. We enjoyed the fresh air and view of the lake. We even had a doe share the path with us!
Very nice park, very far away from the road and right on the lake, so its fairly peaceful. They have a long walking path that is far removed from the children's areas, and takes you right to the lake with several benches you can sit on and watch the boats drive by. Very nice at sunset!

“Very fun, go to the parking lot for the disc golf though to be closer to the edge/lake if not too busy (much closer to the lake but also much smaller parking lot).”
“Port-a-potty bathroom by smaller disc golf parking lot.”
