Confirmed from Pine Woods 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.

I really love it here! Only thing I wish it was a little more secluded not by houses. But u want to excape city life if your in north Tonawanda. Also great for family cookouts, bday 🎂 party's, walking your dog or taking the kids to the playground.

Great to see a local park get so much use. While there are far fewer trees than there were 50 years ago, there are plenty of activities. The pavilion still stands. It gets used by churches, organizations and families, which brings lots of people to the park for food and festivities.

Great park! Discgolf course is fun and has a back nine me and friends put together with the tee marks on trees.. Nice playground, swings, Ice rink, baseball diamond, basketball courts, fun little hiking/biking trails through the woods and nice clean pavilions with picnic tables throughout the park..

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.

🚻 Restrooms 6 mentions

“Nice public restrooms and facilities for cooking and planning events.”
