Confirmed from Morgan Days Park South'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.

“It's a beautiful place to take your family or to just go for a walk.”

Nice hidden gem in Rockville Centre. You get Smiths Pond, a nice fishing spot, walking trails, basketball courts, and baseball fields

★★★★★ — Rob , May 2019

Great to go here for the Rockville center fireworks. You can see all the fireworks and hear the music that's being played from the site. What makes it better is we dont get clouded with the firework smoke and not be crowded. I went today 7/13/19 and there was only about 30 people there.

★★★★★ — Tamer , Jul 2019

great park with beautiful Nature trails on the lake/ picnic area. Sports fields for residents only. Water fountains are broken toilets only open when baseball fields open. NO parking except residents of Rockville Center in park proper. If not resident you can park on street next to Nassau st and Maine Ave entrances.

★★★★☆ — Daniel , Sep 2013

Beautiful park even though its the end of winter. Definitely a great place to take a walk and watch some of the waterfowl. When its warmer there is a playground set for children and a picnic area for people to enjoy. This is definitely a place to come all year rouns!

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.
