Confirmed from Back Beach 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.
Open park featuring baseball fields and multiple playgrounds for kids to enjoy.

Back Beach Park is very open and beautiful for kids of all ages. Also don’t forget your furry friend. Pets are welcomed. Just like anywhere you go. Please clean up after your selves and animals.. You can ride your bike. Skateboard, run, walk. It’s a huge open area.
Breath taking. Beautiful lake. Completely immersive. The ruined castle is spectacular and you can even see Manhattan in the distance wide and clear. Its so beautiful in the fall with the colorful leaves. Never felt lost. The paths were marked clearly.
