Confirmed from Latourette 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.
City park featuring a historic 19th century mansion, a golf course, hiking trails & a nature center.

The trails through here are amazing... You can easily loose yourself in the woods without any real chance if getting lost. It's an amazing resource for Staten island , new York and fun. I can't recommend it enough. Also the trails allow for exploration and one to take a short hike or make it a more substantial one.
Great place to walk, run, relaxing, breathing fresh air and to take pictures, etc, etc! Beautiful....
The blue trail makes it's way around the golf course and has some nice elevation gain. You can pick up the yellow trail if you don't want to use the gravel path on the blue trail. Then make your way further into the greenbelt. The trails are all marked and well maintained.
