Confirmed from Rapho Township Community 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.
Family-friendly space with ballfields, basketball courts, a playground, picnic tables, and a dog park.

Very clean and well kept park, nice walking trails and a great place to spend some time with your kids! One of our favorite parks in the area.
I really like this park because I feel like it is great for my 3 year old son. There is a small toddler section that is divided off just the right size for him that I can kind of just stand and watch him play. It is well fenced in and if he wants to run over to the "bigger" side he can.
Very nice playground area, a side for bigger kids and a side for little ones. Paved walking paths, that are .25, .5 and .75 mile. They have a basketball ball area and dog park that are well maintained (dog park requires registration). Public restrooms that are well maintained.
