Confirmed from Van Lieshout 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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (250 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 7 mentions

“Pros: The ground was mostly flat, soccer nets were up and in great condition (no holes on the back of net to chase a runaway ball), and these were normal goal sizes for adults.”

👟 good for all levels 4 mentions

“There's a wonderful playground with so much to do and a lot of safe options, and playground equipment for all ages.”

I just love this park! It is a great place to walk around the park. There is a nice playground for kids, a large field and a baseball diamond. There is also a shelter with some picnic tables. They do have restrooms, although I am not sure when they are open since I have not used them.

Went here on Monday, September 2, 2024 to play soccer with some friends. Pros: The ground was mostly flat, soccer nets were up and in great condition (no holes on the back of net to chase a runaway ball), and these were normal goal sizes for adults.

Good park! Plenty of trees for shade and picnic tables to sit at. My daughter used the splash pad and played on the playset for a while. Park was clean and felt safe. Only reason why I did 4 stars is because the water seems to only run for a few minutes at a time. So the kids need to press the button constantly.

★★★★☆ — Jason , Jul 2025

This park has a lot of open green grassy areas, including a nice grass covered heel that kids can roll down on. There's also a nice paved path going around the park and through the park, as well as a nice playground with equipment for a variety of different kids ages including swings.

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.
