Confirmed from Ardsley 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.

Quiet park featuring baseball and basketball facilities, plus a children's playground.

What runners say about Ardsley Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (100 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I grew up playing at this park and then my kids did too. The trees are really big now and there's a walking path around the perimeter, as well as kids playground equipment, tennis courts, basketball courts and baseball fields.

★★★★★ — Phyllis , Aug 2018

Nice little park. Couple baseball fields,soccer fields, paths to walk. Good playground. Right near the wildlife area so plenty of birds and animals to see.

★★★★★ — Zachary , Jun 2021

My family absolutely loves this playground. The equipment is really fun and challenging, making the kids use problem solving to get to the top. There’s also lots of smaller things like a merry go round, seesaw, and rock wall as well as a smaller play structure for smaller kids.

★★★★★ — Brooke , May 2025

Lovely park has a picnic table, swings, and seesaw. There is a play area to climb on and slide to go down. There is a baseball field and around the outside There is a track if your looking to walk around it or run. It's a very nice park.
