Confirmed from Point Pleasant 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.
10-acre park featuring basketball courts, a soccer field, playground, trails & picnic tables.

Definitely a great trail for walking and running. Very peaceful. There's a lot of neighborhood ppl who walk their dogs but they don't pick up the poop, that seems to be the only thing that not maintained by the city but other than that it's a nice area to walk, play basketball or have your kids play at the park.
I have driven by this small park hundreds of times but never took the time to stop. Basketball court, picnic shelter, large grassy field with soccer ball nets & simple flat walking path around the field. Enjoyed a nice walk on path. Many people enjoying the park as well. Will definitely come back.
Nice clean park. Level 1/2 mile blacktop walking trail. Huge open field. Plenty of parking. Several park benches around trail. Alligators in nearby creek will eat unattended children.

“Plenty of parking, basketball courts, trails, big open fields, and even a creek---plenty for all to enjoy.”
“But my favorite part of the park was the simple yet beautiful flat paved walking path that looped around the field.”
“The only downside was the lack of shade, so it may be better to visit on a cloudy day.”
