Confirmed from Mill Hill 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 with a walking path, bridge, and vendors, plus events such as a farmers market.

Nice scenic park in the middle of the city especially in the fall when the leaves change colors. The downside is not many areas of shade..
This is a park in the capitol city of Trenton, New Jersey located on the banks of the Delaware River. On this day December 30th, 2023, Mill Hill Park played host to the re-enactments of the two Battles of Trenton the first on 12/26/1776 and the second one on 1/2/177.
Simpy put, just an old fashioned open air park. There's a Thursday Farmers Market (May to October), free concert series every Thursday during the summer, plus a great safe open space in the middle of downtown Trenton.
I love this park. Very nice paths to walk through along the creek, and love the historical significance it has associated with the iron bridge in the middle. Not a lot of shade, and no benches underneath trees which is a downside, but nonetheless great place for strolling. Great location great park!!!
