Confirmed from Atlantic County 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.
Park with a playground, walking and biking trails, picnic tables, and a nature center.

Always enjoy going to this park, AKA Estelle Manor Park. Playgrounds for the kids and plenty of trails for everyone else. Even has a nearly 2 mile long boardwalk that makes you think you're in a different state. Today I used the boardwalk and some single track trails for my training run.

Great well rounded park. Has a lot to offer including paved driving trails, a fitness trail, boardwalk trail great for handicapped persons that has great river views, remnants of historic buildings with information on them, paved running trails, a playground, covered picnic area, and multiple wooden bridges on the…
