Confirmed from Irvington 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.
24-acre urban park known for its tree-lined lawns, small pond, fountain & options for athletics.

This is a nice park for families to spend the day with their children. Also a place to practice sports : Basketball🏀, Tennis 🎾 , jogging 🏃 and soccer ⚽, very sadly the baseball field is abandoned. The pond can use a big cleanup to enhance the park's appeal.
