Confirmed from Waterview 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.
Clean lakeside park featuring a playground for kids and a paved walkway.
What runners say about Waterview Park
“It was clean, had a convenient parking lot and we got a wonderful walk in with our baby.”
“Overall very nice and quiet park to bring a few and hang out and get your exercise!”
Nice little park for walking and bringing the kiddies to play. The kids can also fish for sunfish/bluegill since there are quite a few of them. The pond has some fairly decent size Bass as well but never caught a Catfish or Rainbow trout as the sign may represent but they are supposed to be in here.
Nice little fishing spot with a playground for the kids. Walkway is paved all the way around and parking lot is clean and paved. The creek runs behind this park and is another hidden fishing spot or a great place to relax and gather your thoughts.
nice little park, with a nice little fishing hole! didn't manage to catch anything except for a bunch of moss, so i switched to my topwater. they have a nice walking trail, and a playground area for the kids.
I loved this place. It's not really a kid park because of the water but great fishing area and geat for walking and just a peaceful time aways in the city but a feel of being in the country by the lake. Go check it out
