Confirmed from Cross Farm 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.

“Cross farms park is a beautiful place, it hosts many sports including an archery club (TRA Archery), which is quite fun.”

Well maintained park, beautiful ball fields. Great place to bring children and pets. I was walking the paths for over an hour ( wanted to stay longer but had an appointment ☹). Saw some deer 🦌walking around, not even interested in me. I've gotta go back soon when time allows. 👍👍👍👍👍

★★★★★ — Doug , Sep 2021

Good for walking around. Especially with your dog. A couple of baseball fields as well. Also, it has two batting cages. A good place to practice.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
