Confirmed from Howland Township 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.

My kids don't like Howland Park as much as they used to, since they tore down Tiger Town. They still have the slides set up near the tennis courts that have been there since I was a little kid and just one new play set. It is a nice place to go if you like to walk on the track.

Great playground with clean restrooms!! My son really enjoys the new Tiger Town. I just wish the playground itself has a little more shade. The walking trail around the park is great, as well.

★★★★★ — Amanda , Nov 2022

The Howland Township Park is a great place for your daily walk, have lunch, and take the kids. It now offers Disc Golf. It's a wonderful experience through the four seasons

★★★★★ — Pamela , Oct 2023

Beautiful park nice and clean they have a walking or bike tail and they also have a bridge in the back which is nice and quite and your in nature what could be better. You can take you dog also they have a playground for the kiddo and even you big kids too. They have a tennis court and a pavilion if you get hungry.

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.
