Confirmed from Silver Lake 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.
Community facility offering basketball, tennis, track & soccer, as well as ball fields & a pool.
What runners say about Silver Lake Park
Beautiful recreation area including many baseball and softball fields, soccer fields, walking/biking path, and full running track. A great place for league sports and nice concession stand on weekends. Lighted ball fields and ample seating.
Baseball and soccer fields, basketball and tennis courts, and a quarter mile track. Two playgrounds for the children, make this a great park
Had tee ball practice and game there the park was very nice clean and spacious. Other athletic sports were there too this is how big this park is. One thing I did get the opportunity to walk along side the walking trail and its a bit beat up but still you can walk it just wear good pair of walking sneakers to be on…
Nice park with baseball and soccer fields. There are also tennis courts, basketball, and a 1/4 mile track. There were 2 playgrounds but now only one small one. Hopefully they will build a new one.
Trail conditions & character
“**Updated** parking lots with some grassy overflow are helpful - Not always a lot of parking for really busy league days, but neighborhood and street parking are options.”
