Confirmed from Post Ford 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.
What runners say about Post Ford Park
I love walking my dog here. Plenty of benches to take a break. There is a Dunkin Donuts nearby. Piast meats and cold cuts. Nice view of the falls.
Located at Garfield in the north side of the Passaic river, this place is excellent for outdoor activities like, walk, run, exercises, or simply laid down. Enjoy the damn, wildlife.
