Confirmed from South Riverwalk 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.
Peaceful park along the Delaware River featuring a playground and a statue honoring Trenton's history.

I'm from south Trenton so I am very comfortable walking around this park with my family people just chill yes people like to chill and smoke around there but they are not all over ( usually ) and they (usually )don't mess with you if you just mind ur business..
Was a nice walk I love what the city of Trenton did for the area. I see a lot of families out walking.
