Confirmed from Riverfront 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.
Park with a beach, boardwalk, playground, fishing, picnic areas, and pavilion.

Beautiful little dog friendly park with picnic tables, small walking paths, kids park and beach.
Very relaxing small park, and very up kept. It is nice walking on the small boardwalk looking into the water and across the way to Osborn Island. Nice place to eat you breakfast sandwich and coffee, worth it to get outside.
Nice view of treasure island and the Manasquan river, walking path with work out stations

- SurfaceBoardwalk — flat and scenic, and slick when wet, so watch your footing
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- At the trailheadrestrooms — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
