There's a few ways to get a more accurate measurement, but going off of the scale on google maps I'd estimate the perimeter is around 1600 -1800 feet. There's 5280 feet in a mile. So 5280/1600 = 3.3 laps. or 5280/1800 = 2.9 laps. I'm reasonably confident walking 3 laps would get you close to a full mile.
Edit: Measured again, with slightly more accuracy (but still nothing super scientific) I think it is close to 1800 feet. Unless you are walking the inside sidewalk then it might be closer to 1700 feet. Either way, 3 laps

I did this in the spring with my Garmin and I thought I remember getting .36 miles.

My pedometer app says .4 miles, but I think that’s a bit high. Previous apps have put it closer to .35. That’s the oval path within the park, not the sidewalk on the perimeter

Not sure on the mile question, but it takes approx 11.5 laps to work off a night of drinking at Nico’s that ended with a late night Ritters stop.

You could use Strava or another similar app to find out

There’s a little sign on the light post on the corner of friendship on Edmond that says 1/4 mile with an arrow, not sure if that means it’s 1/4 mile around?

Used to be cleaner when dogs weren't allowed, but now that park is a literal shit show.

Why would you want to do that? Also the sidewalk around that park is not in great shape.

Because they probably live/work in the neighborhood? It’s a really nice thing to have.

Not just for this request:
Onthegomap.com gives you the option to draw a route on a map and get the measurments / distance. I use it to map all my running routes.
