Hiking Trails

The dirt roster, park by park — separated from the paved system that never arrives

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

Separated from pavement, this ground's dirt walking is one county park's trail pair, one town park's paths, and three grounds with no trail at all.Fern Hunsberger Park, the town park at 202 N. Lamport (DF-21, below), carries maintained paths through its 5.9 directory acres — walking ground at neighborhood size, with no named or mileaged trail in any record reached. Penn Park, the ball ground at 300 N. Grand Boulevard, has no trail: its green is diamonds and their margins. The Moran Elementary ground and the Olive Street unity garden, the banked leg's smaller holdings, have no trail either, and are printed so rather than inflated. That is the complete dirt roster inside and immediately around the town line. Patrick's County Park's roughly four miles of wooded path and Bendix Woods' three miles of trails are the county system's walking depth — but on this ground the separation the checklist orders is stark: all of the town's walking is dirt, and all of the county's pavement is elsewhere.
