Confirmed from Springettsbury 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 playground, basketball courts, baseball fields and picnic tables.
What runners say about Springettsbury Park
“An outstanding, spacious, clean, well manicured, safe, open view with a nice long walking trail and a couple of other options for walking because it's so spacious.”
“This park is beautiful and very well kept”
“This is one of nicest parks in York County and it's very safe for kids of all ages, all of the play equipment has a spongy rubber mat underneath it.”
Park has many features for all. Tennis, basketball, football, baseball fields and amazing children's playground. Walking paths. Clean bathrooms. Summer months can be busy. Good maintenance of park overall. One improvement needed is putting bathrooms near kids playground for little ones for moms with little ones.
This is a good place to bring your family for a cookout, maybe some volleyball, basketball, and a park. This place is nice on a sunny day and quiet if you walk away from the park a little. Perfect place for picnics, too. Most days the basketball court is filled up though so make sure to come early. 4 out of 5 for me.
What a pretty park, with an excellent playground with a diverse amount of things to do. It has several well kept baseball fields and tennis and basketball courts as well as an amphitheater. It is a lovely place to walk. It is a shame they aren't more pro-active with spotted lanternfly
Definitely one of the best parks in the area! Always packed with people and lighting makes playing later in the day possible for parents who work late or want to go after dinner. This is one of my kids fave parks. I love the story walk and the great events they have in the summer. It's beautiful here all year round.
