A stroll in the park, or a jog, is always an invigorating
and entertaining activity. Piedmont Park has miles of walking
and jogging paths with water fountains scattered along the
way. Four paths have proven popular:
Active Oval – .70 miles. The Active Oval circuit uses
roads that circle the ballfields. It has a moderate grade,
from a low point by the Visitor Center to a high elevation
at the north end of the Active Oval.
Lake Loop – .96 miles. The Lake Loop circuit uses roads
that circle Clara Meer. It has a very constant grade, with
little change in elevation.
Lake & Active Oval – 1.15 miles. This circuit makes
a loop around both the lake and ballfields. Although longer
than the Active Oval circuit, this circuit has similar elevation
change.
Park Loop – 1.68 miles. The Park Loop is the longest
circuit with the greatest elevation change. This circuit adds
a loop around The Meadow to the Lake & Active Oval circuit.
Its low point is in the Meadow while the highest point is
north of the Active Oval.

“Perhaps the truth depends on a walk
around the park.”
