Confirmed from The Old Glory 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.

★★★★★ — Watty , Jun 2025

One of the greatest views of the city in NJ. There are plenty of benches and tables and a nice walk that overlooks the skyline. Perfect smoke spot at night.

★★★★★ — Jdisndihdhd , Jan 2024

Nice park , with a nice view of lower Hudson River . Perfect picture views , great for sightseeing. Although a good part of it is by the road . One just have to walk a little further to see the park . There is also another park close by it like 2 minute walk Donnelly Memorial Park. This park also has a better view

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.
