Confirmed from West Beach'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.
Relaxing park, with a fenced playground, picnic area, and a lake view.
What runners say about West Beach
“The toilets were clean and the drinking fountains worked well.”
A little Hidden Gem. A small fenced in playground area with nearly new equipment. Restrooms nearby. Parking lot is immediately adjacent. There's a beach area to Lake Minneola although it is rather small. You could also launch kayaks or canoes here, no motorized boats.
Love it anywhere downtown by the water. Bike paths and nice to walk on. Get a view of some wildlife too if you go at the right times. And you can go fishing. Theres swimming at some points at waterfront park end but you do have snakes and alligators in florida waters so swim with a crowd of people.
This is for bikers, walkers, dog lovers paradise! What nice relaxing place. Bring the picnic basket and stay for lunch. Breath taking views and multiple animals a foot, air and water. It's a Sunday afternoon as the song said!
Nice place with a lake view. Right around the bike trail. Only concern is to have a busy road aside. Stay close to your kids. Playground is very good and there is a small picnic area along with good bathrooms
