Confirmed from Mount Joy Borough 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.

well-maintained 6 mentions

“It was very clean the playground equipment wasn't missing any pieces and the kids had a great time.”

Nice ballpark. Restroom were clean. Lots of shade during the evening game. Bring your lawn chairs. Limited bleachers seating.

★★★★★ — Linda , Jul 2021

Great place to take your kids to run off all that energy that they posses!

★★★★★ — Ryan , Sep 2021

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.
