The route

Distance: about 1.0 mile around the lake.
Terrain: mix of paved path and crushed granite, almost completely flat.
Extend it: the neighborhood trails around the park let you add as many miles as you want.

Tips

Look for the public art along the loop.
Busy on weekend mornings with the farmers market and families; go early.
