Confirmed from Warinanco 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.
Expansive park offering an ice-skating rink & lake activities plus multiple playing fields & trails.

One of the best parks in Union County. It’s super large. Plenty of space to spread out, get in a pickup game of your choosing. Feed the ducks in the lake or do some fishing. Paddle boats in the summer. About 2 miles of walking/jogging trail. You will often see various cycling groups doing laps around the park.
Visited this park today to play a game of Cricket and was amazed by its sprawling beauty and cleanliness. The park is so huge that it’ll take forever to cover the whole park by a walk. This place also has few paddle boats on a small lake and adequately available washrooms for use.
From the playgrounds to the picnic areas, the park has something for everyone. My kids love running around, playing on the swings, and feeding the ducks. I enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful scenery. It's a great place for families to spend quality time together. I love it!
A huge park. Pretty good crowd. Turf area is one of the best place to go for running. You will find few people over there even if whole park is empty. There are few gym equipments besides turf. You can do light weight exercise here.
