Confirmed from Summer 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.
Well maintained, grassy area park featuring tennis and basketball courts, plus a baseball diamond.
What runners say about Summer Lake Park
“Family friendly Clean park, has clean public bathroom s witch is a big plus!”
“Beautiful views and plenty of space very positive environment for families Enjoy The day at the park.”
This park has great paths, a nice park, basketball courts, tennis courts and baseball diamond. Just make sure you wear bug spray. If the mosquitoes like you, you will be eaten alive!
Beautiful park in a beautiful location. Multiple seating benches along their path. I saw very few people here when I went between 5-6 pm on a weekday.
Very good area for party but the only inconvenient is the restroom 🚻is by the other side of the part you have to walk 🚶♂️. But the rest is good.
One of the best places to walk your dog. They have bags for you and a nice walkway for both.
