Confirmed from Tech Terrace 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.

wide open park that my dog & i walk to everyday! the gravel trail that circles around it is quite popular with tech terrace residents as you’ll see lots of people cruising with their kids, strollers and such. lots of activity in the best neighborhood in the city of brotherly Lubb

It’s pretty chill haha it’s not any special park no playground or anything just grass some benches and hammock poles, the only path to walk is the sidewalk surrounding it.

★★★★☆ — Stella , Jun 2024

Beautiful park in a beautiful neighborhood. Nice gravel path that is 0.61 miles in length and loops completely around. Gorgeous open area and beautiful trees surrounding the walking trail. There are benches around the trail to sit, along with a couple little garden areas. Very well kept and clean.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
