Confirmed from Squire Cheyney Farm 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.
Well-kept park featuring a paved path and a trail for walking and running.

“Cheyney Park is a smaller well maintained community park that's rarely busy.”
“Choose the short or long loop with beautiful scenery.”
“Great walking trail with ample parking for a quick run or taking your dog for a walk”
Cheyney Park is a smaller well maintained community park that's rarely busy. There are plenty of wild flowers, and, because of the gentle grade, it is well suited for both baby carriages and seniors. Parking is ample.
Paved walkway through farm land. Mild hills throughout the loop walkway. Nice to walk under the clouds, I imagine it can get very hot in the mid-summer heat.
i get a great workout! you can choose from a 75% up trail for a bit of a challenge or a tough one hill and then a nice slow ride of the view on the way down. very accessible from the nearby communities it’s great!
Paved loop around a meadow with historical information along the way. Pretty much all in the sun. There are some benches along the path. Also a leg that goes down to 926. Peaceful. Can be a lot of bird activity.
