Confirmed from Valhalla 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.
Community park with wooded areas, softball fields, a lakefront beach & cross-country ski trails.
What runners say about Valhalla Park
“Extensive playground for kids, decent charcoal grill, clean bathroom facilities, plenty of tables and overhead cover.”
“Park has great playground features, scenic trails, nice bathrooms, and a small lake with a beach that is great for small kids.”
Nice little park. Great for a walk or walk the dogs. Small playground and a Pavillion you can rent out. There is a baseball field. Paved path through a wooded area from the parking lot to Willoughby rd.
Wonderful park with nice pavilions and both paved and dirt hiking trails. Huge maples and beech trees. A scenic lake and some nice vistas. We saw an owl when we went. Definitely a picnic spot. Wear good hiking boots as some of the trails are hilly.
Beautiful nature trails all year! Playground for kids. Beach for swimming (Memorial day to Labor day) with grills and pavilions for events.
Nice park. Took a complete walk around. There is snakes. Seen Gartner so far. But go check out. I'll be bringing the wife.
