Confirmed from Elbo 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 Elbo Park
“Simple, clean walking park.”
The only reason it's not a 5 is because too many people just don't follow the leash law. Update March 2025. They've now got a sign that says the distance all the way around is .5 mile.
Gentle walking paths through undulating hills and young trees abound in Mt. Laurel, NJ.
Simple, clean walking park. There is not much here and that's part of the charm. There is a small playground for younger children and a nicely paved walking path. There are also benches and picnic tables to enjoy. A nice view all around with just a little bit of noise from the main road.
New public park with less crowded thoroughfare as the older long established Laurel Acres Park. Smaller size with paved paths for walking. Some tables provided for picnicking and play area for kids. Approximately 20 parking spaces total.
