Confirmed from Bronx River Greenway'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.
Public park featuring kid-friendly hiking trails.

The Bronx River Greenway enables you to walk/run/cycle from Soundview Park all the way to Muskrat Cove next to Woodlawn station. This section goes through Starlight park and is one of the prettier sections of the Greenway, running right alongside the Bronx river for several stretches.
