Confirmed from Greensfelder 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 Greensfelder Park
“This is a well maintained park with clearly marked trails for hiking, biking and equestrian use.”
“Greensfelder has steep elevations with a one way, drive thru, scenic loop to view the upland deciduous hardwood forest, glades, & a few creeks.”
“Accessibility is another strong point, with clearly marked trails and maps available at several points throughout the park.”
“This park is often quiet during the week, but can entice people on nice weather weekends.”
$10 gets you a great no electric campsite with firepit (including flipover cooking grates) and a separate grill. Bathrooms have running water. Nearly all patrons are completely maskless, but even the bathroom's aren't too busy so it's an easy workaround. Also the rangers (plural) are present and helpful.
Beautiful lush park. I felt like a velociraptor or T-Rex was going to pop out. Gorgeous tree cover, deep valleys, and primitive trails for hiking or running. Camping sites and equestrian stuff avail, too.
This is a nice sprawling park that backs up to Rockwood Reservation and Six Flags. There are horse paths and some equine facilities. There are also a number of walking paths, pavilions, and a playground on one end. This park is often quiet during the week, but can entice people on nice weather weekends.
It's a beautiful trail that's hidden behind Six Flags. It was a total surprise to me. It was a nice challenge with the elevation. Just make sure to watch where you're walking. You're sharing the trail with horses.
