Confirmed from Proprietors 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.
Recreational spot by the river featuring a waterfront walkway and a playground.
What runners say about Proprietors Park
“The walking paths are beautiful and they do wonderful job of keeping it clean and safe.”
“Has 2 parks one for austic children of all ages that's a major plus and also has a beautiful few of Philadelphia.”
“Live music and 50/50 raffles, games for kids of all ages, food,drink, and the view of the Delaware River with the skyline to back it up.”
Really nice park with great views of the Delaware river and Walt Whitman Bridge. A couple good areas for fishing and an awesome walking path with multiple benches to sit and watch the sunset, river or watch the world go by. A free parking lot with quite a bit of parking.
Nice, clean and safe park. Walking trail that overlooks the Delaware and the Philadelphia skyline. And there’s a playground for the kids.
A great place to walk & fish in Gloucester city. A boat deck, pier & walking paths along the Delaware river.
A neat park situated right on the Delaware River, in the shadow of the Walt Whitman Bridge. Be sure to walk the river's edge and check out the views from the fishing pier. Also of note are the many interesting and historical plaques and markers throughout the park.
Trail conditions & character
“If you visit the park, for some fresh air, and a view of the Delaware River, you'll get to watch all the shipping traffic coming up and down the river as well.”
“We went there recently ( amid the pandemic) and the parking lot was empty so can't comment if the parking space was big enough for a normal day crowd.”
