Confirmed from Pen Ambler 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 Pen Ambler Park
“Clean and plenty of space!”
“A nice quiet playground which feels secluded.”
Can we have some pictures of the playground equipment? I know there’s a walking trail and it’s a well park but nothing to show the playground equipment? Did not know if it’s appropriate for two-year old.
This is a nice little park in the heart of Ambler. Great running trail, courts, and playground. It can be a little off the beaten path but the kids seemed to love it.
The kids playground was cleaned up and is good for young children. The trail around the park is great for a walk, and it's nice how there are some summer concerts.
Well kept park. It has a great playground, walking trail, basketball hoops, and open fields. Great place to take the kids for a couple of hours.
