Confirmed from East Lampeter Township Community 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.
Park featuring a playground, a mini disc golf course & paved walking paths with exercise stations.

“Beautiful park with paved walking path around and threw it.”

“Peaceful, well maintained, and just a lovely place to be.”
Beautiful park with paved walking path around and threw it. Path is about 0.9-1.3 miles, depending on what route you take. Disc golf course, 3 pavilions, sand volleyball court, baseball field, playground. Bathrooms are very clean, no changing table.
This park has a beautifully paved out concrete trail with convenient benches located throughout the trail way including overlooking the Mill Creek that runs through the outskirts of the park. Very peaceful and quiet. If you have children there is a playground area.
Very nice well maintained park. Clean restrooms paved walking trails, great views. Very nice play ground, plenty of parking. I absolutely recommend coming here.
Early in the morning is the best time to go on a hot day. The very tall slide is in the shade. After the sun is beating down, the playground equipment gets hot. We always touch before getting on. Bathrooms are clean. Nice walking down to the river. Early in spring watch for bees nests.
