Confirmed from West Fairview 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 West Fairview Park
More to see than meets the eye. Parking by basketball court and baseball field. Pavilion and swing set with a grill. It connects to a hiking trail that meets then follows the Conodoguinet Creek for about a mile. There is a side trail that leads to a few brick arches that were a part of a nail foundry.

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- 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.

- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
