Confirmed from Stony Run 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.
This 316-acre area with woods & meadows has trails, play fields, a fishing lake & other amenities.
What runners say about Stony Run Park
“It's not that beautiful but it's a nice green spot for the neighborhood.”
“It has a large open area to run, good sized playground for the little ones, a stream to calm yourself, some trees for climbing, and a nice rope/tire swing.”
“Dogs are very welcomed and there's a lot of trees if you don't like to stay under the sun too much.”
A little piece of country in the middle of the city. The walking trail and creek were a source of adventure for my 11-year-old son and his friend, who were visiting it for the first time. There are several opportunities for some nature photography as well.
It's a quiet place to walk and relax with your friends or family for a picnic. Dogs are very welcomed and there's a lot of trees if you don't like to stay under the sun too much. There's a little river that I don't know if it's ok to swim. It's not that beautiful but it's a nice green spot for the neighborhood.
We love this park for it's big open play space. There's a stream, big trees, an area to make a stick fort, and a playground with plenty of room to room around. I take care of a 12 & 8 year old. This is a perfect place for them to read and run and explore. I also take care of a 2.5 year old boy.
This is a great place for the kids! Local spot for kids in the neighborhood. It has a large open area to run, good sized playground for the little ones, a stream to calm yourself, some trees for climbing, and a nice rope/tire swing.
