Course setter notes
Although not a large forested area, Eagle Rock Reservation has some nice woods to run fast in and an extensive trail network to challenge your compass skills. Cliffs overlooking the NYC skyline should be avoided except to enjoy the view. There are some minor areas of thorny bushes but they are mostly crossable. The park is surrounded by roads on all sides so getting lost would be extremely difficult.
