Confirmed from Tanners 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.
Charming lakeside park featuring a basketball court, playground, pier & boat launch.

Who would expect a pickle ball court? Shelter included changing rooms and coverage from rain. Sand clean from debris. Plenty of parking. Bike trails too and fishing.
This is a great park with pretty much all you need. you can set up volleyball play basketball on multiple courts and the beach and playground are right there. if you wanna fish there is plenty in there! bass,crappies, sunny and a bunch of northerns. sometimes 36 inches or better.
The playground is great for the kids and super close to the beach. The beach is usually very clean. The water is actually pretty clean as well (for a lake, ya know). There is only one grill but they have SEVERAL picnic tables so it is great for a birthday party or small get together.
Peaceful, clean & located in a very safe neighborhood area. Perfect place to enjoy nature @! 1 full court & half court Basketball courts. Nice baseball fields. Fenced Full-Tennis courts. Picnic Housing with multiple tables.
