Confirmed from Barnard 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.
Outdoor rec area featuring tennis courts, playgrounds and basketball courts.

“Decent park pretty well kept place to enjoy a day by the pool and basketball court tennis courts shelter if it rains small playground.”
The park is nice and has a good playground, shaded pavilion for picnics, sometimes free concerts in the summer, volleyball court, track for walking/running. The public pool is large, well-maintained and clean. The lifeguard staff is friendly and professional.
Great place to park close to Goffstown Rail Trail. Also has Porto potty to use before you hit the trail. It's located right where the trail starts so it's very convenient.
It is a great place to take young kids to play. There's also a public pool. There's also a track for running. Basketball courts also and tennis courts.
