First
time
visiting
Lakeline
Park
today
-
I
had
no
idea
it
was
open
until
recently,
and
it's
just
a
couple
of
miles
from
our
house.
We
enjoy
hiking
and
were
looking
forward
to
seeing
what
the
trails
were
like.
We
took
the
2+
mile
loop
around
the
lake.
It
is
entirely
paved
with
concrete,
which
may
not
be
the
best
for
runners,
but
it's
fantastic
and
accessible
for
kids
bikes,
strollers,
and
wheelchairs
(although
there
are
some
inclines
that
might
be
challenging).
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
with
how
dense
they've
kept
the
natural
canopy
and
understory
in
many
places,
creating
a
lot
of
cool
shade
and
natural
views.
With
the
exception
of
the
future
sports
fields
and
"the
big
lawn"
near
the
pavilion,
it's
entirely
native
scaped
with
native
grasses
and
wildflowers.
Another
benefit
of
the
trails
being
paved
concrete
is
that
they
won't
wash
out
and
require
rebuilding
every
time
there's
a
significant
rain/flash
flood
event.
There
are
plenty
of
dog
bag
stations
a
long
the
lake
loop,
but
the
only
water
station
is
at
the
trail
head
near
the
kayak
rentals.
We
didn't
go
to
the
large
pavilion/playground
area
which
was
very
crowded,
but
I
imagine
there
are
water
fountains
up
there
along
with
bathrooms.
Just
plan
to
go
to
the
bathroom
before
you
start
your
hike
and
pack
your
own
water.
Overall
pros:
native
landscaping,
dense
canopy
in
some
areas,
accessible
walking/biking
paths,
ample
parking.
Overall
cons:
park
signage
is
hard
to
read,
probably
need
at
least
one
"relief"
(bathroom/water)
station
along
the
lake
loop
trail.
