Confirmed from Sandyvale Memorial Gardens and Conservancy and Dog 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.
Many heroes of the American Revolution & the Civil War were buried at this landscaped park.
What runners say about Sandyvale Memorial Gardens and Conservancy and Dog Park
“Excellent place, well maintained and pleasant to visit.”
“ne amazed at how beautiful it is views off the chart during clear summer sun set and sun rise”
Pleasant place to walk, enjoy a bit of Johnstown history by viewing its gravestones and historical markers. Also home to a greenhouse where one can buy flowers and enjoy the outdoor flower beds and rows of trees and shrubs. Excellent place to walk your dogs and watch them play with others in the enclosed dog park.
Nice green house in the park and great dog park with a one mile long loop walking track. Memorable experience on Memorial Day about Johnstown PA history and of Course Frank E Evans war memorial is locked there from Veitnam War, for the only Navy ship lost during the war.
The place is full of history. I enjoyed the walk from Central Ave. Mayer Trail to Sandyvale. It is a leisurely 1.3 mile stroll one way. One of the many hidden treasures of Johnstown PA.
I love walking and see the tombstone people riding bikes and walking dogs and enjoy the scenery the park has to offer I took pictures fir my collection I loved it..
