Confirmed from Schiavoni 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.
Family-friendly park featuring a 2.5-mile paved trail, plus kayak, canoe and tubing rentals.
What runners say about Schiavoni Park
“Well maintained trails where you can walk close to the river but not too much too see.”
“I was there in June and beautiful catalpa trees were blooming along the trail.”
Small park with a few trails. Well maintained trails where you can walk close to the river but not too much too see. There are some small flowers on the paths. This park also has a kayak/canoe ramp and a large open area if you walk down one of the trails!
Nice park with paved walking/running/biking paths. Plenty of parking, including handicap spaces. The path meanders along the Swatara Creek and the entire path is wheelchair accessible. Plenty of benches along the way to sit and enjoy the views. They are installing a Disk Golf course along the path.
My niece and nephew love this place! It's clean family oriented. You can go canoeing, ride your bike, walk, jog and even bring your dog and a doggie poop bag. The kids love wading in the water's edge. It's open dusk to dawn. Definitely 5 starts
Nice little park for walking and going with the pup. I wouldn't recommend this course for disc golf - dense wooded areas from the walkway to the water... Makes it tough to recover a disc if lost.
