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.
Relaxed park featuring ball fields and a playground, plus walking trails.
What runners say about York Township Park
“Always so very well maintained and lots to do featuring basketball courts, baseball, football, soccer, volleyball and more.”
“Very nice and clean,is beautiful where kids could play, there's lots of space”
We walk our dog here at least once a day. The park is nice and big with plenty of things to do. They have a big walking path we walk that is just over a mile long, or you could do smaller paths. They also have things like a pavilion, kids playground, basketball hoops, and a few fields.
Its a nice park, with pretty veiws and lots of feilds and courts. Safe due to close proximity to police station and high visibility. I like this park, they have good hills for cardio and paved walkways.
We were here on a whim, trying to kill time until something I ran the trails, which were nice and take you away from the fields. Plenty of fields and space to play games or just run around. Some wooded area but mostly open area. Many hills. Lots of parking. Bathrooms available.
Great place to take a long walk, walk your dog or kids sports. Nice open layout.
