Confirmed from Jeffer's Pond 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.

Great location away from busy roads, there is not a play area for my youngest but there was plenty of space to run and explore. Nice walking paths as well
Awesome Park! Great playground, ball field, ice rink, paved trails, dirt wooded trails, ponds, fishing pier, sheltered picnic area.
