Confirmed from Andover Central Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews.

An excellent place to walk, enjoy a picnic, fish, or play disc golf. The activities are varied, and the setting is quiet and peaceful. If you're near Andover, find your way here and relax!

Beautiful area. Was there for a concert. Plenty of room for people. Nice area to walk around and enjoy the scenery.

★★★★★ — Kevin , Sep 2021

Very nice park with nice playground equipment for children ages ~2 and up. Public bathrooms that are well kept for a public bathroom. There is a walking path along the lake and disc golf as well. Everyone ive run into has been very respectful and polite. My daughter loves going to this park.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
