Confirmed from Urban Forest Lakes 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.
Picnicking, fishing, and walking are among the activities at this park with a public restroom.
What runners say about Urban Forest Lakes Park
“This park is clean and is a nice size lake for where it is.”
“Normally not busy and quiet.”
Love coming through here on my runs or just to have a place to relax. Normally not busy and quiet. Ducks are nice and they now have the lights up.
Great place to walk. Now offers fishing. Saw a lot of ducks and turtles.
I take my dogs there every week and on special occasions. We love the trails, including going around the softball fields, and they love chasing (never catching) the ducks, cranes and swans. Most everyone is friendly.
We go here just to walk around the lakes to get some exercise. Nice peaceful quiet place
Trail conditions & character
