Confirmed from Thornell 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.
Spacious park featuring picnic areas, gardens and playgrounds.

“Bathrooms are next to the playground and were very clean.”
Five star public park with excellent amenities. Amenities include full-size lighted multi-purpose turf field, several grass fields for soccer and other activities, community garden, tennis and basketball courts, large upscale playground, and pavilion on site. Plenty of parking, bathrooms and nature trails too.
A beautiful park located in the wonderful town of Pittsford. The park has a good trail for running, great soccer, football and lacrosse fields as well as baseball diamonds.
Great pavilion for a family event. The bathrooms are open and clean. Electric outlets good for fans if you bring, or crock pot if you plan on bringing. The children made good use of the playing field. Path to the parking is all good.

- AccessDawn to dusk — the gates close, so do not plan a run that finishes after dark
- SurfaceBoardwalk — flat and scenic, and slick when wet, so watch your footing
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
