Confirmed from Peterswood 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.
Clean outdoor space featuring sports fields, a playground and a skatepark.
What runners say about Peterswood Park
“It’s beautiful, always clean and bathrooms are the cleanest in Peters Township.”
“Beautiful fields and play grounds and lots of them there rec center is beautiful too!”
This has been our go to park for a couple of years. It’s beautiful, always clean and bathrooms are the cleanest in Peters Township. The maintenance people are friendly and the trail is awesome.
We love it there! Close to home and directly on the trail. We love the pavilions and playgrounds for family birthday parties and picnics!
My little girl loves this place. We can walk or drive to it (drive... Carrying a 40lb tired babe 2 miles is TIRING, just ask my hubby!) And there is lots of stuff she can get nice and dirt covered in. I just sigh and don't look (hubby looks, thinks it is hilarious) and dump her straight into the tub afterwards.
Great park that joins up to the Montour Trail. Baseball, soccer, tennis courts, picnic areas and a soon to be music amphitheatre as well as a fitness center with a walking track, basketball courts and other classes you can participate in. $10.00 a year for residents.
