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.

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.

★★★★★ — Life , Mar 2021

We love it there! Close to home and directly on the trail. We love the pavilions and playgrounds for family birthday parties and picnics!

★★★★★ — Shelley , Apr 2023

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.

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.
