Confirmed from DiCaprio 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, lovely, sprawling, clean park, featuring soccer, lacrosse and other sports fields as well as hiking trails.
What runners say about DiCaprio Park
“My great granddaughter had several lacrosse games they had several food trucks there park was very clean”
We went here to check out the trails that are part of the Pine Bush. We were hoping to do some bike riding on the trails, but it's definitely an area that's for more advanced trail riding than we're capable of 😁. So we decided to just hike instead.
I walk here. It's usually a nice peaceful walk. Either loop around the soccer fields or down one side or the other of the nature trail that leads through pine bush (run-on ikr). Always a friendly dog walker or two. And of course, the gentleman who cares for the park.
Great park . well maintained with a huge pavillion and bathrooms. Town hiking trails can be accessed from this park. Home to FC Dutchmen and Guilderland Soccer Club.
Great location to walk, picnic...great 4 seniors, folks pushing strollers, runners, joggers. Lots of folks with their pets.
Trail conditions & character
“Great park for a picnic with the kids, they do have bathrooms, but weren't the cleanest when we were there”
“There are 2 parking lots and 2 green sections with 5 or 6 fields each.”
