Confirmed from Alden Town 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.

“I simply love this park, is a beautiful walking path through the woods of a very old growth forest.”

I simply love this park, is a beautiful walking path through the woods of a very old growth forest. Next to the schools soccer fields. There's a small wading pool for the kids, basketball court, Soccer fields. The fact that it's right next to the school also gives you access to the track and other resources.

Very clean. Polite people usually walking around. Went to the car show this year and it was a huge set up. No problems that I witnessed or heard about. Great family location
