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.
Green space featuring tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts, plus playgrounds, and a walking trail.

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!
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
