Confirmed from Borough 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.
Green space featuring 3 playgrounds as well as baseball fields, a basketball court and a stream.

“The walking path is really peaceful too—perfect for a casual stroll or just taking in the scenery.”
“Great place for all ages and stages, with walking trails, a pond, a playground, and more!”
I recently spent a day at Borough Park with my family, and it was such a great experience. The park has a little bit of everything, so there was never a dull moment. My little one absolutely loved the three different playgrounds—she bounced between them, and it kept her busy for hours!
Great place, very large pond amazing fishing opportunities. Caught 2 pretty Bass, tons of bluegill. Positive people walking around and not overfished. Bring the fam.
A small quiet park with two playgrounds, baseball fields, and multiple covered seating areas. A partially paved walking path runs parallel to a creek.
Very nice playgrounds (yes more then one) for kids different age groups. Walking paths and animal friendly
