Confirmed from Zephyr 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.
Lakefront space for picnics and birthdays offering a playground, walking paths and a splash pad.

Zephyr Park Review Spending the day at Zephyr Park was the perfect escape into nature and simple pleasures. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the serene beauty of the large lake that sits at the heart of the park, complete with fountains that add a calming soundtrack to the entire area.
Zephyr Park houses the Zephyr Waterplay area and has something for everyone. There is a walking trail around the pond, including Veterans memorial benches and American flags. There are ducks, a playground, a water park, and tennis courts. Huge oaks provide shade even in summer heat. Great place for an afternoon picnic.
We love this park. New to the area and visited and a hot sunny day with our dog Orion. Orion seen so many animals around. He wanted to chase the squirrels. Love the path around the pond. Lots of places to sit and take in the stunning views!
Love this park! So peaceful. Great walking trail around the lake. Great bird watching place if you like birds.
