Confirmed from York Township 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 York Township Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (128 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 8 mentions

“Everything is clean and well maintained and the playground is especially big and nice for a small park!”

A nice little park with a great playground for little ones and a sledding hill for winter. The pavilion is newer and well kept with a lot of picnic tables. The bathrooms are latrines, but nice. They say they are handicap accessible, but there's a step up to them, so I don't think that's quite right.

★★★★☆ — Gen , Jul 2016

Great playground and sledding hill. Excellent close access to the Lester Rail bike/walking trail. Nice close parking & very nice pavillion. Recommend that they fence in the playground area as the pond is fairly close in proximity

★★★★☆ — Jon , Aug 2019

Small park at the intersection of 18 and Columbia. With 2 clean restrooms, World War II Memorial, and access to walking trail. Amenities include a nice fishing lake and the playground for the kids as well as a shelter.

★★★★★ — Tony , Mar 2021

Fun little park. Never too crowded and plenty of space and room for picnics as well, and has a pond. It's also rt next to a bike/walking path as well

★★★★★ — B-Dawg , Mar 2024

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.
