Confirmed from Harrison 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.

Park need pathways to much grass no place to walk, so much poop. However me and my family had a great time!

★★★★☆ — Crystal , Aug 2019

The park has many beautiful mature trees and nice tennis courts. A great place to calmly walk your dog. The park is next to the Erie Lackawanna trail which also has beautiful mature cottonwoods that rustle with the breeze.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
