Confirmed from Manahasset 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.
Clean playground featuring turf-grass fields, plus basketball & tennis courts.
What runners say about Manahasset Park
“Everything was set up nicely, regulations followed to the best of their ability, and everything was clean.”
Manahasset Park is well kept and run by great people! The walking path is a nice length, level and is a loop. The bathrooms are clean and usable. The fields are maintained nicely. When concession is open they have yummy stuff and volunteers are kind and professional! I love this community!!
A really great recreational spot with more than enough space to play sports and have fun. This park has something for all age groups, a walking trail, lacrosse, tennis, football, basketball, soccer, baseball etc along with a turf field. There are also two parking spaces and the bathrooms were clean.
