Confirmed from Reservoir 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.
City views plus a track for runners, a reservoir and hills for sledding.

“Beautiful place, is perfect for walk and take fresh air.”
“It's perfect for jogging/walking or just taking in the amazing view of the city, especially at night!”
“it's very quiet and peaceful and alot if nice friendly people visit the park daily to walk or jog/run”
This place consists of a huge track that surrounds a large reservoir. There's also a smaller track that goes up a hill and surrounds a tower there. It's perfect for jogging/walking or just taking in the amazing view of the city, especially at night! In the winter it's also perfect for sledding!
Great for walking. The park stays clean considering its location. Up keep of the park makes me feel safe in that particular area. The views of the city are outstanding and sledding is a blast
This is a beautiful place to walk, it has great views of the north side of the city of Lawrence, it's a good place to walk with a friend or even to go be alone for awhile to clear space in your head...it's very quiet and peaceful and alot if nice friendly people visit the park daily to walk or jog/run
Its a great place to take a peaceful walk so one day bring the family.in the 90's they had water in the middle of the park but kids kept polluting it then the city was forced to drain it. Tragety
