Confirmed from Paxtang Commons 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 Paxtang Commons Park
“Beautiful and clean very friendly community and my grandson loves it Paxtang has always been a family friendly community enjoy our day together at the park special memories.”
Nice little park. Has a tiny walking trail and some things for the kids to climb on and slide down. Tiny baseball field also. There's no parking except 2 handicapped spots so we parked next to a house that had a sidewalk and wandered over with our snacks and drinks.
Fantastic park. Cultivated play areas for younger children (play equipment), a great field for running. A wonderful creek and a woods with trails for getting kids out in nature, but conveniently close to the city. I do wish it had swings.
Went for a family walk here. Very nice and shady most places as we were walking. Lots of off road trails for bikes and walking/hiking. They did level some trees down because of a storm. But very nice family walk...
My kid loves it enough that we use it to bribe him to act right during our walk on the Greenbelt first.
