Confirmed from Elizabethtown Sports 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 Elizabethtown Sports Park
“Well organized Tournament, friendly staff, covered viewing stadium seats, well maintained fields ( despite the heavy rainfall we had while there), lots of parking.”
“Beautiful park with great parking.”
To simply call this a sports park is a gross understatement. This is a mega park, the super bowl of all sports complexes. It is incredibly well thought out. Well spaced fields arranged in pods, this park has dedicated baseball, football, and soccer fields, along with a magnificent running/walking path.
This is an amazing facility! We go every year for a cross country race - Run for the Gold - and the park is perfect for that. It's a great course for running. Restrooms are in a good central location. Everything is well maintained and clean.
The facility is wonderful however if there are more than 50 or so teams, parking is a problem. There's overflow parking and your walk could be long. There is a nice walk way around the facility. Restrooms are good.
Great, clean, and accommodating ball park. On site concessions, clean restrooms, shaded areas over spectators seats, some have stadium style seating. Plenty of parking, but quite a walk from the overflow lot.
