Confirmed from Top Of The Tourne'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.

“Easy 20- min walk to the top with a great view of NYC skyline.”

Take the red to red yellow to yellow trail. Easy 20- min walk to the top with a great view of NYC skyline. There is also a 9/11 memorial up there.

★★★★★ — Bryan , Jul 2018

It's about three-quarters of a mile up to the top of torney Park along the yellow Trail. There's a 9/11 Memorial along the way as you near the top. Pretty much uphill for the last third of the hike. Bring water and there are benches to rest especially for 60 year olds not used to hiking.

★★★★☆ — Theresa , May 2018

Good place to visit with family specially having small kid. We have toddler with us, even she loved this hike.

★★★★★ — Kamalesh , Dec 2020

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.
