Confirmed from Pierce Township Locust Corner Park & 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.
Forested park boasting playgrounds, picnic areas and trails.
What runners say about Pierce Township Locust Corner Park & Trails

“Small playground, well maintained, beautiful surroundings, and long walking trails.”
“Great picnic spots, including several tables nicely spaced out under shade trees.”
This was my first visit to this lovely park. It's very different from most parks. It still has the same elements you expect but they are arranged in-between hilly walking trails that give you choices for more or less challenging walking. I visited the dog area with my larger dog.
This is a beautiful well kept park. They have nice equipment for the kids, trails, and bathroom facility. They also have a small stage. They have nice shaded areas to relax while kids play or after a walk. If you are in the area stop here.
A+ small park, but well maintained and clean. We have baseball ⚾ ⚾ practice here from time to time with our children and never have any complaints. Things to do basketball 🏀 tennis 🎾 walking 🚶 running 🏃 trails, kids play ground.
Awesome park! Decided to do the trails today. Nowhere was it posted how long the hike is...it was a beautiful hike. But we didn't expect it to take 2 hours. My phone said it was around 2.3 miles. Very hilly and challenging for us. Enjoyed it though.
