Confirmed from Glen Rock Duck Pond'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.
Popular park featuring a pond for ducks and a playground for kids, along with a fountain and paths.

Peaceful and perfect for walk, run, or bike ride!! You’ll love the fresh air, beautiful nature, and don’t forget to check out the cute turtles too!! 😎
Very quite park for walking , biking and getting some quality time with your family and yourself. There are plenty tables for picnic and I think you can do barbecue as well. I saw some people fishing so I am assuming you can go fishing here too. Not sure about the permit tho.
A nice place to walk on the bike paths or around the duck pond itself! Nice little area that has a nice creek/river/waterfall that people fish in. Cozy and makes you feel close to nature. Quickly becoming one of my favorite places to go walking with the extended bike paths.
Wonderful place to walk or ride bikes. Nice paved path along river and ponds. Plenty of shade, many benches to rest, and wildlife to watch.
