Confirmed from New Cumberland 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.
Spacious facility with ballfields, a playground, picnic tables & pavilions, plus boating & fishing.
What runners say about New Cumberland Borough Park
“I came birdwatching here, it's a well-maintained park, and Yellow Breeches Creek's right behind it.”
“It was a beautiful little place to sit and look at the waterfall with my daughter.”
“A quiet little park with a little bit of everything.”
“Thank you New Cumberland borough council and Humans for a Dog-Friendly New Cumberland group!”
This park is nice! Cute stream, nice trees, and you can walk on the road in.
It was a beautiful little place to sit and look at the waterfall with my daughter. It's more of a view and a fishing spot rather than a spot to get in and walk around to cool off. But it's definitely beautiful to sit on this platform and look at the water!
This is a nice park. It's really big, and there's a nice sized parking lot. I love riding my electric bike on the road that loops around the park! Very fun! Will be back!
A quiet little park with a little bit of everything. There is both a larger playground for the bigger kids and a small toddler sized playground for the kiddos just learning to walk or not comfortable with heights. As of April 10, the restroom is also open and relatively clean.
