Confirmed from Lalor St 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.

I walk this park occasionally during the week. It is amazingly clean even though Empty Cigar Blunts packs (2 for 99 cents) and small empty weed bags are on the ground from those smoking a blunt and enjoying the view. I pick up the ones that are close to the garbage cans as I walk along the paths.

★★★★★ — Chuck , May 2019

One of the best parks in Trenton - great for dog walking, jogging, hanging out by the river, etc

★★★★★ — Collin , Jun 2022

I have started walking as a exercise to keep in shape. 🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️ Was looking for different scenery. Came across this park. Clean, long trails, outlets to plug your phone, small picnic tables, swings and slides for children. Restrooms 🚻 Overall a welcoming and safe environment.

Mercer County NJ Park Commission public park. Also known under different names, South Riverwalk Park, the Deck Park, Lalor Street Park. Well maintained with 2 sections. Interactive sculpture depicting the history of the area. Plenty of greenery, pavillions, playground area with great views of the Delaware River.

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.
