Confirmed from West Bank 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.
Waterfront trail area with scenic views for dog walking hiking and fishing.

A lovely park! Plenty of things to do and a nice place to walk or spend the afternoon! Be sure to bring your dog to the dog park! Very clean and well maintained.
Clean safe park along Grand Lake. About 1.5 mile relaxing walk. Two dog parks, one for dogs below pounds, other for above 20 lbs. Rest room available.
Beautiful park with a lovely view of Grand Lake. There's a nice bike/running/walking path plus there are boat docks there. Also there are a couple decent restaurants nearby.
