Washington Park, affectionately known as "Wash Park" by the locals, spans 165 acres and is home to two small lakes, beautiful trees and grass, and a plethora of recreational opportunities. This 2.5-mile loop makes the most of the natural scenery in Washington Park by looping around the entire campus.
Description
On the southern end of the loop, this route hugs the shores of Grasemere Lake before heading back north along the greens in the center of the park and then looping around the banks of Smith Lake.
This is an easy walk that's perfect for the entire family. It's flat, non-technical, and can easily be shortened if needed.
