Confirmed from Malcolm Wilson County 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.

“Quiet, peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the sun on a winters day”

Zen place to meditate on the rocks by the water, for a stroll or to workout. I usually take this route for workouts and it's just great.

Malcolm Wilson is a county park that was once a historic site in the early 1900s it's served as a quarry on Mill and later was hit by lightning and the Mansion was knocked down the park is quiet and pristine with winding paths and Wildlife and it's a great Park to bring your dog or just unwind and a peaceful setting…

★★★★☆ — Michael , Sep 2018

Nice small Park. The southern part has a nice lawn. The north part of the park has small paths between several level levels. The landscape looks like it was nice at one point. Now it looks ignored and neglected.

★★★★☆ — Zvi , Apr 2016

The Malcolm Wilson County Park is an absolute gorgeous park to sightsee and visit. It is definitely a top attraction to visit in Yonkers, New York. The park is filled with beautiful trees and great walking paths that visitors can use to jog, walk their dog or go for a casual walk.

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.
