the loops at Lovers Lane is a set of 2 walking/running trails surrounding Lovers Lane soccer complex. The inner loop (0.7 miles) is paved sidewalk-style in concrete. It circles the main soccer fields, with bathrooms and water fountains at the beginning and halfway points of the trail. There are no real elevation changes through this loop. It may have some shade in 5-10 years when the young trees mature, but no shade at this time. The outer loop (1.6 miles) is a fine-crushed gravel trail that rings the boundary of the park, including the frisbee golf course and outer edge of the soccer fields. It kisses the inner loop along one side of the soccer fields. This trail is about 25% shaded by old growth trees dependant upon time of day.
