Confirmed from Elmwood 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.

well-maintained 6 mentions

“Clean, well maintained, bathrooms, and walking paths”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 5 mentions

“A very quiet park, out of the way from most things.”

A very quiet park, out of the way from most things. Its safe, large enough for kids to really have fun, and the forest has plenty of trails for people to walk through. A very good all year park for those who like less traveled places.

★★★★★ — Richard , Jun 2018

Not a bad little park, good for kids and adults with some walking trails that aren't really marked but you can go down if you want... baseball diamond for kids... playground swingset and park pavilion with bathrooms.

★★★★☆ — Allen , Jul 2018

Lovely walking trails. Basketball hoop, playground equipment. Wish they had a tennis court.

★★★★★ — Randean , Apr 2020

Great park, nice and cool and some nice trails hidden away for explorers to find

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
