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.
Relaxed park with mature trees, a playground and tennis courts, plus a pond.

“Harrison Park is a good clean quiet well maintained Public place to come to and have peace enough to read a book outside.”
Park need pathways to much grass no place to walk, so much poop. However me and my family had a great time!
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.
