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.

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.

★★★★★ — Martina , Mar 2025

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.

★★★★☆ — David , Mar 2021

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.

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.

“The only downside was the lack of shade, so it may be better to visit on a cloudy day.”
