Confirmed from Shadyside Memorial Park Terraced Gardens' 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 Shadyside Memorial Park Terraced Gardens
“Clean and beautiful, I love this park for nature photography and the kids love the play ground”
“Clean and beautiful, I love this park for nature photography and the kids love the play ground”
Entering the park, you wouldn't think you would find anything remarkable. If you wander a bit in the shade under the trees, you find a treasure of a garden. From Chinese inspired stone walls to statues memorializing veterans, this garden is packed with textures and tributes.
Trail around the lake was well maintained and wide enough for people to pass by. The walk around the lake is long enough for a nice work out, especially with the dogs.
I loved the atmosphere of the park and the paths. I loved how big the place and ponds are.
This is a fantastic place for walking/jogging, whilst enjoying scenes of nature/wildlife.
