Confirmed from 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.

Park featuring a playground and lakeside trail for walkers and dog owners.

well-maintained 5 mentions

“Clean, great equipment, soft rubber around the equipment.”

Love this park. With its fishing pond, walking and biking path, play grounds, adult workout areas and covered picnic tables there is not much more you could ask for. Its really a hidden gem and my favorite spot in town.

★★★★★ — A , Sep 2025

I actually live near here, it is PERFECT to go for a walk around the lake with pets and the whole family. Very well lit at night, very safe at all times.

Cozy atmosphere to walk...have lunch or just do nothing...close to many convenience...
