    This is my favorite trail in the area, even though there are plenty closer to me. It's well maintained (as are any parts of the Ma&Pa trail). I love that it is mostly shaded (not a sun lover) and people on this trail just seem friendlier. I also appreciate that a lot of the residents along the trail maintain their yards so that trail wanderers have great scenery.

    Nice shaded mostly flat walking trail. Well maintained and a very nice walk with bridges over streams and a good amount of shade. Plus the added convenience of a clean restroom next to the parking lot at bynum rd\melrose rd. We are used to the MaPa trail up the road aways in Holtwood PA, which is considerably more rugged, no bridges there. Lol.

    Field is severely sloped - uphill one way. Bounces are so inconsistent. Field is small. No bathrooms at all, you could walk 300 meters down the road to the trail. Parking is more than adequate for the one field, no problem there. Hope we never have to play here again. Music from neighborhood was awesome though, possible 80s party, saved our day by taking our thoughts away from this horrible field.

    Could have given a higher rating, went in for a kid's soccer game and I could see the grass was way too tall. More maintenance is needed. It was clean from what we could see.

    Great spot to see deer and birds. Lots of tree cover for walks on hot days. My kids love going and looking for wildlife in the out of the creek there.

    Trailhead for the northern part of the MA & PA rail trail. Bathroom facilities open from April to November. Green areas to have a picnic on, but no tables. Soccer fields nearby.

    Quiet, trail is covered by trees so not too sunny on hot days. The wildlife seen is amazing.

    My son's team practices soccer there sometimes. Lots of grass area to use. Also, you can run/walk the trail.

    There are field for soccer and lacrosse along with a basketball court. It's also an entry point for the Ma and Pa trail for walking/ hiking.
