Lakeshore park has a lot to offer from fishing to canoeing. You can find people race their model boats on Sundays as well. The full loop around the lake takes about 30 mins. It is dog friendly. There are also running pit stops along the track to stretch, a nice picnic area and benches for reading a nice book or bird watching. Recommend swinging by for a run in spring time to see the baby ducklings. It is also home to some endangered bird species that migrate come winter. Quite beautiful in the autumn with the Japanese maple trees turning red. Popular destination for Halloween as trick or treaters like to come to the lakeshore park for the festivities if you pass by at night during holiday season there are nice Christmas decorations and lights put up in the area. read more

This is definitely a great place for kids, they can enjoy the ducks and the birds while taking a nice walk. It is also dog friendly with bag dispensers and trash cans to pick up after you pooch. In my case, I don't have any kids or a dog but I really enjoy the jogging/walking path. This park has an ample path which is marked the entire way letting you know how far you have gone. I am deducting one star because they don't have restrooms. This is the only bad thing about this place. read more

Very beautiful and a serene lake. It's way smaller than the lake elizabeth, but if you want to take a short walk alongside the lake, this is the place to go! read more

Calm and quiet neighborhood. Lots of people walking, jogging and some fishing. Good for kids to ride bikes or walking your pet. Lots of benches but no amenities like bathroom or drinking fountain. Most people are residents and walk to park. Plenty of parking around lake if not. read more

Lakeshore Park - Earlier the less people and more birds. Quiet some people fishing. - Parks Near Me - Newark, California

Love this park for a good run. Its never crowed so you can run in peace with the lake as the background. There are some spots that the smell isn't that great with all the geese pooping everywhere. Oh and they do get mad at you if you interrupt them while they are crossing the road. they hiss at you so you have been warned. Love the peace and quite it is and its not too short and not to long, i can run two rounds for a decent run, 3-4 if you feel like getting a real workout. there are also benches along the way to just sit back and watch the scenery or use it as a workout tool, pushups, situps, mountain climbers, triceps, jumps, etc. also ppl that have kayaks can just come and kayak the lake, and there is really no one that does that so you kinda have the lake to yourself. Its awesome. read more

Talk about Memory Lane... Or Memory "Lake" in this instance... Like others have said- it's more commonly known as Newark lake or "the Lake"... Beautiful area, love the homes that are secluded in this area. Great neighborhood, pretty quiet. The lake itself isn't the most beautiful thing you've ever seen, but it's a great walk around, mediocre jog, but overall, great place to just hang out. In high school, my friends and I were frequent lake goers, and this was the place. The meeting spot, the evening hang out, the "let's chat" places we would go.... Yes, a big con is the duck doo-doo, but they live there! We can be mad that they are doing their deed in their own home... Pros: I'm not sure if they still have them? But there use to be really cute little stretching posts where you could do different stretches. I believe they even had little signs up showing you what to do. Again, it's just a nice place to take your dog or stroller for a walk... This lake is a landmark and will not be forgotten read more

This is a great spot for a evening walk, or a quick ride on a bike. The geese do think they own it though, so proceed with caution. They've recently renovated this lake, so it's even better. Parking is ample, and its usually never crowded compared to its larger counter part, lake Elizabeth. It's calm, quiet and just the perfect size to make a lap. I've been wanting to come back with a kayak and test out the calm water. read more

It's surprising to find such a beautiful park in the residential area. Great lake scene. Perfect for jogging or walking. read more

It is a nice spot to take a walk except watch where you're stepping on the sidewalk. There are a lot of birds around and and there's a lot of poop on the sidewalk because of that. read more

This lake is awesome. Very beautiful scenery, very enjoyable to take a walk or just sit on the bench and watch the birds. Just be careful there are some angry geese. Paths could be better, under construction right now. Overall very pleased. read more

Lakeshore Park - About to be a bird crossing - Parks Near Me - Newark, California

Very nice park! Ducks, geese walk around freely! My 2 year old and I went here for the first time. She was very curious about the water, ducks, birds, the dangerous part for kids is there is no fence so she can fall in the water but thankfully she knows what "cuidado agua" means. Hehe. But not sure for other kids! We will be back! read more

its the Newark lake. ASS HOLE GEESE. nice people. i just wish the city would put money into repairing the path. i know they stock fish into the lake but i not sure i would eat them... love this place been going here for 20+ years, fell in the water twice as i kid, dont worry it was cleaner back then. crazy birds and overall a nice place. 1.25 miles long too. read more

Cute little lake tucked away in a neighborhood.

This walk trail surrounds a man made lake located in a residential area. Obviously a lot of residents in the area utilize this park for recreation such as bike riding, skate boarding, running and walking. The scenery is beautiful. There are a lot of ducks and other wildfowl in the area. Make sure you bring your doggy poop bags as there are not provided along the walk trail but there are plenty of trash receptacles. My dog loves the lake, the closer she can get the better. The sprinklers go on around dusk and it also gets pretty dark even though there are street lights so I suggest walking before dusk. read more

A hidden gem for sure. A great place for a walk or short run.

When I was younger this Lake was beautiful. It was well kept, and you could tell the city cared about it. Today, its a little run down. But, I guess its to be expected with the economy. Its nice to walk / jog around, although at certain spots its a little smelly. The water looks pretty gross, I don't know how people still go fishing there, I wouldn't eat anything that came from the Lake! Its a nice place to walk your dog, there are a lot of handy bag dispensers around with plenty of garbage cans. Its a good place to bring the kids to feed the ducks or burn off some energy. Has a lot of nice benches and peaceful views... of other people's houses lol. The people who walk around the lake are always pretty friendly. So, you don't have to worry about creepers too much. I only gave it an A-Ok rating because I remember the way it use to be and I'm disappointed in the way it looks now. A lot of the up keep done now is by some really nice volunteers who try their best. Also, something that really annoyed me: The sprinklers come on randomly and will spray onto the path.. so if you don't want to get sprayed by some smelly water you're trapped until it passes by. Even then you still get sprayed. read more

First time visit to Lakeshore Park. Came here this morning to participate in a "Walk" to help support my nephew + a group of amazing people who have Ectodermal Dysplasia. The Walk was to let others know, be aware, learn from them that there are such an amazing group of people who exists among us, who even I was, unaware, until I learned more about my nephew and what he has. I learned, these group of people aren't any different than you and I are. I was happy, I was able to share my Saturday morning with an amazing group of down to earth people and make an awareness (Educate others) to those who weren't aware before. Pond: The pond was just like any other ponds I've visited in the past. - Ducks + various kind of birds - Lots of poop - Runners + walkers + bikers + saw a guy fishing - Nice trail - Not much shade - Lots of surrounding homes read more

Wonderful neighborhood park. Lots of dog owners walk their dog here as well as jogging folks and families strolling around. There's a cool little bridge over the water and lots of benches to sit and chill. Love it. read more

This place has huge potential. While I enjoyed what the park has to offer, it's suffers from poor maintenance. But lets begin with the good.... First, there's a large bird community here that includes both domesticated birds and wild birds. You'll find everything from ornamental geese and ducks to herons and seagulls here in abundance. The park also allows fishing. During my walk around the lake I saw about 8 fisherman although none of them seemed to be pulling anything out of the murky waters. I did however see some small bass swimming just off shore and witnessed an occasional fish jump. There's a paved path that circles the entire lake which makes for an easy walk. You'll likely see dog walkers, runners, fishermen, artists, sun bathers and lots of children here on any given afternoon. It's a peaceful place, a nice place for a walk and a good place to bring a camera. So why only 3 stars? The park simply isn't maintained the way it should be. The path is showing it's age, there's lots of overgrown vegetation, there are lots of little areas where the grass has been worn away, the mulching is old and scattered about, the benches need to be repainted or have wood replaced etc. This could be a truly gorgeous place with the right care. It's a bit of a shame that the city doesn't have an army of workers or volunteers to keep this place in tip-top condition because like I said, the potential is huge. Still, there's lots to like here so come on a nice day and take a stroll. read more

Commonly known as the Newark Lake. Quiet park features a 1.25 mile scenic, flat, paved and comfortable walkway. The walkway wraps around the perimeter of the lake. Nice place to enjoy a walk or a casual jog, just watch out for the bird sh*t. read more

This is a great place to walk your dog if you live in Newark. I do one complete lap around the lake with my Golden, which takes about 20-30 minutes. There are usually other dog walkers, joggers, and people taking a nice stroll (and the occasional super make-out session couple...) Like Jen A., I've seen a few people fishing here as well, but I've never seen anyone catch anything, and I'm not sure I'd want to eat anything caught at this lake. read more

Lots of fond memories here from my younger days. Now that I'm right back in the area as an adult- I'm pleased to think that one day soon, we will be strolling along with our babies here! It's a pretty safe little place. read more

I gave this a try as my colleague suggested. This was an awesome walk. I did the entire trail with my 3 year old. She enjoyed seeing the ducks. Next time will take food to feed them as we saw other kids feeding. It was awesome weather. Great for a run as well. Cons: No restrooms, going close to the water can be dangerous for kids and my colleague did mention while feeding the ducks they can get very aggressive. Overall, will go there again anytime for sure. read more

Love coming for the breeding season of the Snowy Egrets and Black crowned Night Herons. Snowiest sound like grumpy old men during this time. But my biggest issue is the fishing line. They should ban fishing from the pond. Horrible seeing the birds that get tangled or hooks caught in their bills. read more

I live on the island in the middle of the lake. I'm not sure why people think the lake is smelly. Sure if you go swimming in it I suppose (not allowed). I don't smell anything, and no I'm not use to it as I just moved here recently. It's great for joggers and dog-walkers. I see a lot of people with remote control planes and boats although I believe the latter is not allowed. Great lake overall. read more

This is a great place to come to basically anytime, always very quiet and never too crowded. Whether you want a brisk morning walk or a late night jog this is a great place to come. During the summer the nights here are very nice and relaxing and during the day it's a very calming place to read. read more

Awesome park. Walk your dog, go for a stroll or just enjoy the sun this park is the best. There's lots of wildlife and something for everyone to enjoy. It's not the biggest but that's what makes it the best. read more

I love this park. I run and walk here all the time. I take my daughter here and we always have a good time. I love having a local lake!!

Been walking this lake since the 1970's. It has always had duck poop. I have kayaked on the lake, althought it isn't much of a challenge. As a kid we had little boats and the Island was just wild. Now I take my grandson there to ride his bike, fish for blue gill, run his RC boat. NIce place in a nice town. read more

This is a nice place to walk but it is in need of repaving. The walkways around are all cracked. I have also noticed that some of the ducks are aggressive. There are a couple who regularly hiss at people when they walk by and my daughters small dog was attacked by one. I hope they spruce things up in the near future. read more

It's a beautiful & uncrowded walk, shorter than going around Lake Elizabeth, but has no restrooms.

Really nice neighborhood park. Paved path around a man made lake, residential park. Good for walking or jogging or biking. Not too crowded. Please do NOT feed the geese and ducks!! They are becoming aggressive and making a huge poopy mess. read more

This is a really lovely lake. Nothing fancy, just a nice quiet ,but lively place to go for a walk with your dog our for fishing. I just wish they cleaned out the junk in the water, some cleaning would make the best of it. read more

Pictures look nice, haven't been there yet. Will stop by later to put fish in the pond :), if you see two goldfish, please say hi, the white one is named Jennessa and the orange one is Mr. Bubbly. If you see birds, please feed them so they don't eat our fish. Thank you! read more

good for a quick run. the lake is only about a mile around and not very busy. it was easy to find parking at that time early evening. it's pretty, clean, and quiet. good place for a quick and leisure run. but there are no restrooms, so beware! read more

It's a pretty nice place to walk/jog. I park on the street next to the lake and spaces are always available. It never gets really packed, which is nice, compared to Lake Elizabeth. It's also quieter as there tend to be less children/bikers here - mostly adults fishing and walking/jogging. The neighborhood around the lake is nice as well so I take my dog walking there when the loop around the lake is not enough. The website said the loop is 1.25 miles. People are generally friendly and there are some interesting looking birds there sometimes. The geese can be hella mean though! My (large) dog and I have been hissed at and chased before. Plus goose poop everywhere. read more
