Confirmed from Mansfield 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.

“Beautiful scenery, casual atmosphere, dog friendly aka Massapequa Preserve.”

Nice park to go walk with your dog specially during summer days where your dog can take a dip and have fun in the water.

★★★★★ — Christine , Jan 2025

Nice baseball and soccer fields next to an entrance for the Massapequa preserve trail. There's parking but no restrooms.

★★★★★ — Margo , May 2023

Great park to walk, bike or skate, a lot of nature to enjoy. I will highly recommend it. Plenty of parking and rhe best part, no charge for anything. Really good place.

★★★★★ — Done , Aug 2024

Great hiking trails, cycling, walking or running. Peaceful as my photo's show.

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.
