Confirmed from Beacon Falls Recreation Complex'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.
Spacious, woodland area featuring baseball fields, along with tennis and basketball courts and soccer.

“I’ll definitely come back to beacon Falls is a beautiful town.”
“Great walking/running/biking track, dog friendly, clean, lots of parking and handicap accessible.”
Great area for sports, walking the track, or just soaking in the sun. The grounds are always clean, there's no graffiti, and the bathrooms are kept acceptably clean. Woodsy enough to feel isolated from the city, but is super-easy to get to. Highly recommended for a day at the park.
Great walking/running/biking track, dog friendly, clean, lots of parking and handicap accessible. There is a playground, tennis courts and ball fields.
Tree roots are causing issues in some areas of the walking/running path. Some one could trip and fall
Great park with tennis basketball and baseball fields and a nice path to walk the dogs.
