Confirmed from Raymond H. Neri 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.
Large unspoiled park & bird habitat with a paved lakeside trail & plenty of open green space.
What runners say about Raymond H. Neri Park
“Bridge is the cut off but worth the stop to see the wildlife and beautiful nature surrounding.”
“Nice quiet park within a developed suburban area of houses, trailers, and light industry.”
Love this park. Not big but beautiful and alot of birds and wildlife, alligators 1.1 mile loop trail.
Nice walking place. Only minus is when people don't pick up their dog droppings.
Nice little walking trail for the dog on concrete , they have restrooms and a doggy water station , a few areas to sit down
This park is mostly a path around a lake with fencing and foliage on both sides. There is a part with a large open field. There are a few over-water gazebos to look at the lake. There is a playground. Dogs are allowed on-leash and they have a dog water fountain/bowl system. There was plenty of parking when I went.
