Confirmed from Perinton 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.

“Beautiful little park with a nice playground, tennis courts, a pavilion,plenty of seats / tables, and access to the canal trail.”

Beautiful little spot along the canal. There's a walking trail, swings that overlook the water (the grown up kind!), tennis courts, basketball courts, and a playground.

★★★★★ — Heather , Oct 2023

Great park with something for everyone. The playground is excellent and well-maintained, with plenty of green space for kids to run and play. The skate park is a great addition, and the tennis courts are in good condition. Clean restrooms are available, which is always appreciated.

★★★★★ — Tim , Jun 2026

Beautiful little park with a nice playground, tennis courts, a pavilion,plenty of seats / tables, and access to the canal trail. You can park here and walk / bike the trail to Fairport village or, if you're feeling like a longer trip, Bushnells Basin. Grab some lunch, a beer, and walk back!

★★★★★ — Bill , Jul 2020

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.
