Lakewood Online has two features for planning recreational activities and fitness workouts. The Park Finder and Trails and Routes pages contain collections of information and links about city parks, facilities, and popular fitness routes.

The Park Finder page groups short profiles on each of the city’s major parks and facilties with either Yahoo or Google map links. The bottom of the page features a library of recreation-related documents.

The Trails and Routes page includes details on neighborhood fitness routes and nature trails. Routes are listed at the bottom of the page. The page also shows cycling links highlighting Rynerson Park as a convenient trailhead for the San Gabriel River Bike Trail.

Listed below is the measured mileage for each park and fitness trail route.  Although some parks have a simple sidewalk perimeter, other parks have fitness stations and routes designed for a convenient measurement.
