Confirmed from Harborcreek Community 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.
Spacious green space featuring baseball fields and soccer pitches, plus a playground.
What runners say about Harborcreek Community Park
“Went to a picnic here, plenty of room for everyone, ample parking, Grounds are well kept, restrooms clean .”
“Overall, this is a beautiful park that I am extremely grateful to have in my community”
Great park with tons of space! This place is huge. Just over 80 acres. It has all the different fields for each type of sport. Has a pond that is stocked for fishing in the spring. Has some wooded trails to hike. Just watch out for the poison ivy, it's everywhere if you get off the trail.
Wheelchair accesible ( dramatic anti speed bumps in drive way if you have tilt function increase your clearance or you will scrape your footplate, in warm weather you can drive around them on grass , in soft winter mud don’t try it ) did not find Wi-Fi but that maybe a function of it being winter .
Very nice community park. Not so much for the park equipment for little ones but for sports, family walks around the track and with your fur babies. Well kept and lots of space to bring your own activities if you wanted to. Workers are usually there working on something and all seem very nice and respectful.
A great place for any outdoor activity. They have baseball fields, soccer fields, football fields, and a nice paved .9 mile path that goes all around it. Plus, there are trails in the rather large path of woods. My only complaint is that the bathroom isn't always open.
