Confirmed from War Memorial Field'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.

Park providing a space for children to play and jogging.

What runners say about War Memorial Field

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (190 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Love working out here and it’s been clean all this year . Love seeing the elderly people walking or jogging around the track in the morning . It’s very clean and unkept . Yonkers needs to make closer stores and do something with Getty’s square like add a Target or major store or even on Nepperhan Ave.

★★★★☆ — Soyica , Nov 2021

Nice big track for jogging. I live close and sometimes I bring my kids to ride their scooters as well.

★★★★☆ — Claudia , Apr 2019

Great place for a morning/afternoon run. The track currently has a few cracks and weeds sticking out.

★★★★☆ — Jim , Jun 2020
