Confirmed from Cousler 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.
Large, popular park with a small lake & sports fields, plus running/biking paths & a playground.
What runners say about Cousler Park
“Very clean with bathrooms close by the play areas.”
“Beautiful park so much to do the benches are dedicated to someone you have trees and information on them I enjoyed it will definitely go back the Baby Shower was awesome”
I enjoyed such a pleasant surprise while visiting this lovely park. The grounds are gorgeous. Beautifully manicured, fully stocked with recreational supplies, and peppered with friendly folks engaged in various fun activities: walking, running basketball, baseball... and more.
Wonderful park for the whole family. 3 total playground areas to help seperate the little ones from the bigger kids. A lot of great walking trails marked with distance. Several field for sports. Several full working bathrooms and many pavilions for family gatherings.
Gorgeous park! Beautiful views and a small fishing pond and stage, great walking trails. Managed to see a big fish and catch and release a decent sized guy! We saw frogs, crawfish, sunfish, bass, and tons of birds. Great little nature spot in York.
I LOVE this park! Beautiful grounds, a pond, lots of fun specific sport/activities areas. Great children's area. Pet friendly. Picnic areas. Community events. Lots of parking. Restrooms. My favorite part is a wonderful 1.4 mile paved walking loop.
