Confirmed from Durand 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.
Serene green space featuring walking trails as well as picnicking spots and benches.

Durand Park is a beautiful and peaceful spot to enjoy nature. The park is filled with a wide variety of trees, and I loved seeing so many different birds and butterflies throughout. The walking trail is well-kept and perfect for a relaxing stroll. A great place to unwind and connect with nature!
I've loved coming to this park since I was a child. Some of the trails feel like walking through an enchanted forest! It's great for catch and release fishing, hiking, and gorgeous photos. Definitely go in the spring to see the beautiful butterflies in the fields!
Nice park in the Freehold area frequented by runners of all abilities. The area is well kept but there are no bathrooms. Take care of your business ahead of time.
A great Park for walking or running with fishing possibilities too! Also a trailed open arboretum type area. Good place to see small game and deer, very good bird watching possibilities ad well! We walk here often and have found it to be never crowded, often we're there alone.
