Confirmed from Wallace 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.
Sandy beach, lakeside park with lifeguards, volleyball courts and picnic tables.

“There is a lot of space, the park is very clean, we come almost every day with our children and spend a lot of time there.”
“It was beautiful with lots of room and picnic tables and BBQ grills.”

Large well-maintained park in Berea, Ohio. Plenty of parking, with full-service concessions, kayak rentals, clean beach, volleyball courts, playground, small gift shop, restrooms, drinking fountain, fishing, walking and biking paths, and more. Definitely worth a visit, especially on a nice day!
I will continue to come here even when I'm too old to walk. There's a lot to do here as long as you have an imagination the possibly fishing equipment or just friends are family to make the time enjoyable. Very scenic and very peaceful. Love to take my boys here
Great beach to take kids too. Plenty of lifeguards on duty and conveniently located within walking distance of bathrooms and dining area. Beach is very clean and water in not too deep at all for little kids.
Nice park with a concession stand for the beach, volleyball pits and picnic tables. The parking lot is a good starting point for walking some of the other trails
