Confirmed from Barrett 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.

What a beautiful place! My beloved lives not more that .25 miles from here and we never knew it existed until we popped "parks" into Maps ! What a lovely place! They hacexa volleyball court, horshoe pits, a super nice playground that accommodates the handicapped and elderly . What more can I say?

Very nice park. If you need to get out of the house and go touch grass, this is a nice place for it. Took my 11yr old and she enjoyed it, though it got too dark to checkout the waterfalls (next time). The place is well kept but still "woodsy" feeling.

★★★★★ — Isaac , Dec 2022

One of my favorite parks in Leominster. Beautiful and well maintained. Always very clean, they do a great job taking care of this place. You can do endless laps around the pond enjoying the view. Uusally a fountain out in the middle of the pond, pretty cool. It's the perfect distance around for anyone..

★★★★★ — Peter , Apr 2023

Very nice park to walk around, very peaceful. Besides walking around the Pond, there are multiple trails in the woods to enjoy. We go there often. There is a small waterfalls in the woods but w the lack of rain, it was dried out.

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.
