Confirmed from Wendell Moore 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.
Green space featuring a lake and playground, plus tennis and basketball courts.
What runners say about Wendell Moore Park
“Nice setup with the playground for children, pavilions are well kept for meet ups, is nice and quiet most times, and the pool opening over summer is a nice plus.”
“Very scenic and fishing is permitted in certain areas.”
They have a New Hammock Station installed in the park off the walking path near the lake. An Eagle Scout Project!
This is a nice little park in Lagrange. It overlooks a small lake. There are running paths, basketball courts, tennis and pickle ball courts. The rec center sets up two pickle ball nets on the tennis courts for play. Plenty of parking and felt safe leaving my car. It was within view the whole time.
Very nice park with Frisbee golf and wonderful walking trails around lake.
The park trails edge Reformatory Lake. Very scenic and fishing is permitted in certain areas. Far from home, I needed a place for my dog to walk and relax. Wendell Moore was perfect. There are gazebos, grills and a water park under construction. Large playground, too. Really beautiful and really clean.
