Confirmed from Neahwa 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.

Neahwa is a nice park. They have several ball fields, a small area for skateboarding, several open fields, two pavilions, water side picnic areas, a playground for kids, and a lovely promenade to walk along. Usually very clean with well maintained grounds and a family friendly atmosphere.
Kudos to the city for providing this awesome park for the community. It's got all the bells and whistles including but not limited to soccer, baseball and softball fields, pickleball courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, skateboard park, dog runs, walking and bike trails and more.
What a lovely hidden gem right in town. It’s so pretty. Took my friends dogs walking there several times and they LOVE it. There are places to BBQ, large areas to congregate for family and friends gatherings. Very tranquil water fountain in the lake. Many walking trails that are great if you want to enjoy nature.
A nice park for walking, biking or fishing. I was in Oneonta for work, and found the park had a decent pond. It is aerated, so not much algae and the grass carp keep it cleaned up pretty good too. A bunch of bluegills and small bass fell for a sz. 10 Mickey Finn on my 5wt. Nice place-
