Confirmed from Washington 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.

What runners say about Washington Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (341 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Another one of Perth Amboy's great baseball/softball field. It has good seating both for home and visiting fans. There is a children's playground, a skate park and basketball courts. There is also a black top walking trail for walkers and visitors to get around park.

★★★★☆ — Esteban , Aug 2017

Good place to relax, walk & watch the kids play & also watch a baseball game & can't for the skate park.

★★★★★ — Nay , Sep 2022

I lived 1 minute (walking) away from it and go almost every other day in summer

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.
