Confirmed from Fairville 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 and multiple zip lines for kids.

What runners say about Fairville Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (60 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 6 mentions

“They have very nice, new jungle gyms, well maintained hiking trails, cool musical instruments that you can play and some short zip lines.”

This park is terrific! The playground is lots of fun. There's a large grassy lawn, pavilion with charcoal pits, horseshoe pits, a baseball field, bouldering/climbing area for kids, two huge zip lines, and a lovely little wooded trail behind the whole area.

What a welcome surprise out in the country. They have very nice, new jungle gyms, well maintained hiking trails, cool musical instruments that you can play and some short zip lines. Those zip lines are only supposed to be for people under 120 pounds though. 😉Ha ha. I’d recommend this park to any family with young kids.

★★★★☆ — Jackson , Jun 2022

Beautiful West Hanover Recreational Park, pavilion, electric ⚡ fireplace and fire pit, grills, playground and nature trails and the Fabolous Zipline. This was a fantastic place to have family and friends for our granddaughter's Birthday party 🎉🥳.
