Confirmed from Pershing Field 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 offering many amenities, including an ice rink, pool, playground & fields & courts for sports.

A beautiful park right in the heart of heights area in jersey city. Its Big, Beautiful, eventful and highly connected location. Its a nice place for kids to play, to get some fresh air and to learn different sports.
Good place for kids to play in Jersey City Heights area. Packed with elders and kids around evening time. Good place for a walking or jogging. Not enough space for parking, only few spots near kids play area and couple of street parking spots.
Awesome park with many things to do. Divided in sections and with ample of space. Pros: - 2 baseball grounds. - good kids play area at one side. - with splash pad for summers. Kids love it - nice walking, jogging track around baseball grounds. Didn’t measure the circuit length.
My son has been in love with this park since he was 18 months. It has an awesome walking track for jogging and walking or if you want to drive a scooter or bike. So many ball fields.
