Concourse Lake is an oasis in West Fairmount Park, not far from the Please Touch Museum and Kelly Pool. This free park has a short paved trail for walking and biking around the lake. There is a focus on native plantings, insects and birds.You can find tagged native plants such as the Fringe Tree around the park. There is free parking along the road near the Lake.

A breath of fresh air within city limits. Take advantage of the bike and pedestrian closure of MLK Drive to take a pleasant ride there.
