Confirmed from Penn Township Municipal Park Walking Trails' 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.

“Beautiful place nice town to raise your kids in for sure”

Beautiful scenery and wildlife! Wonderful walking/running trail! Ball fields, bocce court, basketball, tennis, and playground! There are many families watching their children play. There is a dog park with plenty of space and friendly dogs.

★★★★★ — Jasmine , Oct 2023

It's a very nice park. Primarily a baseball and softball complex. However, there is a large modern playground, walking trail, basketball court, and deck hockey rink. As well as a small pond for fishing.

★★★★☆ — Craig , Jul 2023

I love this park. I had been there several times over the years to watch baseball games or take my youngest to the playground, but this was the first time I'd ever actually walked the path around the park.

★★★★★ — Courtney , Aug 2025

Had my knee replaced and today walked around the lake. It was nice because there are benches in case I need to sit a moment. I plan to begin walking regularly and the more I strengthen my leg the more I can explore the entire walking trail. This park has only gotten better.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
