Confirmed from Albion Memorial Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about Albion Memorial Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (227 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“Nice, small, clean park with a field house for food service during baseball games and an unfenced playground.”

Albion Memorial Park is one of Clifton's hallmark recreation spots. It has three baseball fields for play. One of them, at the corner of Maplewood and Elmwood, in the southwest corner of the park, is named for Clifton's first Major League baseball player, Ed Sanicki.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
