Confirmed from Tallmadge Lions 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.

🌳 shaded & cool 4 mentions

“There's about 2-3 miles of shade on the freedom trail going left from the parking lot, going right there is notably less shade.”

I am not entirely sure what Lions does other than offer parks. With that said, I Have gotten the pleasure to experience multiple of their parks in my local area since i was a child. They have always stood out with excellence even amongst Metro and State parks.

Lions park is feature to many things of which I find daunting. I remember the last great day that I had here, as the end of school party was held here. I climbed a tree there. Sometimes I still do climb that tree, as it is a very pretty park. Has a lot for everyone.

★★★★★ — D , Aug 2021

Great place to run from, full bathroom and water fountain by the ball field! There's about 2-3 miles of shade on the freedom trail going left from the parking lot, going right there is notably less shade. There's also ditches to cool off in, if you have running friends into that sort of thing, which I do

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

🚻 Restrooms 10 mentions

“Bathrooms are clean & always stocked so if you're in need of a bathroom while walking the freedom trail it's a great option.”
