Confirmed from Stackhouse 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.
Park offering kid-friendly hiking trails, picnic tables, and a story walk for children.

Have been coming here since I was a kid and has always been a beautiful area to hike and enjoy nature. We were at the Tioga pavilion for a blessing and 1st birthday.
An incredible time hiking and we found a wonderful place to just sit and read a book for a while. The most beautiful surroundings.
Beautiful, clean, next to the police station/firehouse. Next to the playground, there is a story walk for children that helps explore nature with them. Beautiful walk, great exercise, lots of beauty and nature.
What a wonderful park! I've seldomly visited this park while living in PA my entire life. Now that I have lived out of state in the city - it's a wonderful place we always visit to get back to nature and unwind when in town. The trail is a good mix of difficulty that my 4 year old is able to do it.
