Confirmed from Schaub 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 Schaub Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (21 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is next to our house and everyday we spend 2 hrs here. You can walk , do all kinds of stretching exercise and cycling in the amidst the greenery view of nature.

★★★★★ — Pinaki , Jul 2016

This “park” is just one segment in Petersbrook Greenway which cuts thru Somerville and along the Raritan River. Many of the segments are small - a few blocks in length. Paths are mostly paved and make for a nice walking and jogging path.

★★★★☆ — Betsy , Jan 2023

I love this park I've been going to it since I was a little girl. The park runs of as part of a group of parts all the way through Somerville New Jersey. If you choose you can exercise your way through the entire park. I like the fact that most of the people you meet a friendly.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
