We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Greenwich Point Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Seafront trails & a long sandy stretch, with views of New York City across Long Island Sound.

If you want to have an enjoyable walk during the months of November thru April 1st., then this would be ideal. During the other months, you need to be a resident of Greenwich or pay a fee . The views are beautiful with NYC in the distance. Snack bar and public restrooms.
Well maintained park with stunning, unique landscape. Unmatched views of NYC and never fails to show a good sunset. Can be tricky getting in sometimes as the roads and narrow and usually have a lot of traffic, but the park is worth it. Very dog-friendly. Nice long walks as well as a good sized beach.
Amazing place for a walk, it is ammazing what wealthy areas have, becuase it is well taken care of. The dogs runninng around is cute and the atmosphere pf the whole park is relaxing, a great way to stretch out after a long week! Pay attention to park rules before you come, it isnt always open…
Enjoyed the stroll along the beach as well as the trails. Great dog beach off season. You have to be a resident or pay a fee to enter this park in summer/fall.
