Nathan Benderson Park Trail Description

As part of Nathan Benderson Park, this 3.4-mile paved trail loops around the park's competition lake. The trail is a popular place for running, biking, rollerblading/skating, walking, and more. Running parallel to the paved trail is a crushed-shell path. The park itself is roughly rectangular in shape, stretching north and south, with the lake in the center. For those interested in bird-watching, the park is a great place to observe a large variety of birds. As a full service recreational facility, the park offers a wide range of activities and classes. 

The park is open 6am to 8pm from April 1 through October 31 and 6am to 6pm from November 1 through March 31. Entrance to the park is free.

Nathan Benderson Park Trail Reviews

Simple paved trail around the lake. Enjoyed watching the rowing practice and the wildlife (birds). Lots of people biking and walking but plenty of room!
