Confirmed from Red Lion Recreation 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 Red Lion Recreation Park
“Red Lion Recreation park is a great place to walk and run!”
Red Lion Recreation park is a great place to walk and run! There is a nice, smooth asphalt track that is about .5 miles around. Lots of open space here!
A great place to walk or jog. One of our favorite places in Burlington County. We enjoy seeing the hand gliders & the children on the weekends playing sports. I would have rated the park a 5 but some dog walkers, owners will not leash their pets. Otherwise, it's a great park & is in a great location.
I love going here with my dog (on a leash) but other people don't follow the rules and let their dogs run wild scaring the other dogs on a leash. It would be nice if everyone followed the rules. It would be fantastic to have a fenced-in dog park so dogs can run and play together.
Peaceful escape to watch the birds or you can take a walk around the park...Bring the dog and enjoy the open space. There is a pond with a fountain to enjoy. Well maintained
