We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Rovensky Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Relaxed, leafy space, known for its mansions and clifftop views, plus dog-friendly paths.

“It's dog friendly, and there are multiple locations for free doggie bags, but they were all empty when I was there.”
Rovenscki Park has shady benches and a collection of interesting trees, some of which are looking like they need some care. Nice gravel paths for kids to learn to bike. open grass areas.
Great local park with walking paths and shaded bench seats. Good place for dog walking or quiet reading. Newport resident sticker parking along one side of the park.
Beautiful scenic place to go, great walks. The place to be if you’re just like me a dog lover 🥰
Lovely place to walk in quiet contemplation and escape the hustle and bustle. It appears to only be accessible easily along the street side in front of the park. It's perfect to learn some new tree identification skills as many of the trees are tagged and identified.
