Confirmed from Penn Hills 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.
Park featuring baseball and softball fields, plus a playground.
What runners say about Penn Hills Community Park
“Clean, beautiful, pretty quiet even with softball games going on.”
“A beautiful secluded stretch of woods with Plum creek running thought around the edge.”
Great little park with some nice pavilions. We found a very nice little hiking trail along plum creek. Clean restrooms in the parking lot.
Penn Hills Community Park is a great place to hang out with friends and family. It's a beautiful park with Plum Creek running through it. There's also good trails to do some hiking. There are 3 pavilions that can be rented out for parties and events.
This is a lovely, clean, family park. Lots of playground rides for the kids, and grassy areas to run around. There are three or four large picnic pavilions. But the part we liked the most was the long, beautiful creek bed to walk and play in.
Took my daughter there and she had a blast. Access to the creek and a nice pooling area that was perfect to teach her how to skip rocks. The playground has an appa associated with it for scavenger hunts for the kids and uses AR to make it even more interactive.
