Confirmed from Old Orchard 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.
What runners say about Old Orchard Park
“Ample play structure with well maintained foam play surface and a grassy field for drone or kite flying.”
This park is only 5 minutes from me. One of my favorite local spots for a quick walk when I don't have time for a hike. My only complaint is that I wish they didn't tear down a bunch of trees within the past year.
Clean park with nice play ground with a soft clean ground. It also has sand volley and tennis courts and some outdoor gym equipment. Finally, there is clean flushable bathrooms and a good sized paved pathway in the field behind the playground for walking.
This is a nice little park with beach volleyball area (usually doubles as kids sandpit area), padded play area, swingsets, two pickle ball courts. Lot of open grassed area, walking trails. Also has a roofed park bench setup for lunching on a sunny afternoon.
Nice, clean playground. Two big structures as well as a walking trail. Road into it is small but there is also a nice pavilion there.
