Confirmed from O'Hara Township Community 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.

“It was a good mix of races all ages male and female old and young.”

The O'Hara Township Community Park is an amazing place to frequent and enjoy. The area is clean and well maintained. I encountered many friendly people. This park is full of diversity and culture. A huge difference from my recent experience with Kiwanis Park in Shaler!

★★★★★ — Tami , Sep 2023

I really enjoyed this little park. Perfect for a short run or walk. It's clear the township maintains it beautifully! Great play area for kids. Nice bathrooms. Picnic tables for a quick lunch. Also, a beautiful stream with some amazing geology

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.
