Confirmed from Glenville Woods Park Preserve'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.
Nature preserve with trails, a small play area, and a pond.

The most glorious wooded Glen full of birds, chipmunks, stone formations, beautiful tree species, frogs, Hawks. Magic
Nothing outstanding, but a great place for a casual walk. Kind of buggy, so make sure you spray. The trails are squiggly and seem to be designed mainly for bikes, despite there being a sign specicially saying no bikes are allowed... There was plenty of parking space.
Beautiful park with multiple trails through preserve. Absolutely astonishing views with plenty of wildlife sightings along the way. You could easily spend a day hiking here. Perfect.
