Confirmed from The Loops' 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.
What runners say about The Loops
Two large parking lots to accommodate the soccer fields, playground, walking track, discipline course, and picnic areas.
The Loops at Lover's Lane has a gravel trail that circles both the soccer complex, disc golf course areas, and fire station. There's a great balance of both shaded and open areas of the trail, and also flat and hilly areas as well to maximize your walk, jog, or run.
Short and sweet trail for a trike. I have a MoonCool TK1 eletric trike and it handled like a charm. Trail is nice and clear and has some.small pea gravel that's easy to ride on. I would recommend this trail to anyone that loves biking or a excellent place For a walk.
