Confirmed from Drexel Gardens 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.

What runners say about Drexel Gardens Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (18 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is a great effort to add ambiance to the neighborhood. The row of trees juxtaposed against the rim of the man made brook is quite captivating. The crackling sound of the running water in the brook gives the feeling that you are in the woods. There is basketball court in the distance with night lights installed.

Just discovered this little gem with my son- it's a nice little park with slides, swings and a playground area. Has a field to run- stream and trails.... very nice little park. Clean- safe- exc

Very pretty Park nice to sit there and listen to the water run in the creek. I also like to take the kids fishing they usually catch lots of sunnies.
