Confirmed from Beaver Brook 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.
Spacious, clean recreational park that's divided by size for dogs to play and run freely.
What runners say about Beaver Brook Park
“The whole park is always really clean and well-maintained, which is a huge plus.”
“Great place for the whole family, even your dogs too! Our dogs love the dog park and the kids love the playground and running along while I walk the paved paths.”
It's a very attractive feature of Worcester. Well maintained large facility that allowed city dogs a chance to run. Separate area for large and small dogs. Would be a 5 except some dog owners let their dogs rough house unattended. Not good but not parks fault - just untrained dog owners.
A True Worcester Gem! I just love Beaver Brook Park, it's such a fantastic spot for pretty much everyone. In the summer, the splash pad is an absolute lifesaver for the kids. They can run around for hours and cool off, and the adjacent playground is great too, with plenty of stuff to keep them busy.
Great place for the whole family, even your dogs too! Our dogs love the dog park and the kids love the playground and running along while I walk the paved paths. Theres always always games going on which is fun to watch as well
My favorite dog park in Worcester so far. It's large and has some trees for shade. There's a split for dogs over and under 35 pounds so every dog can play safely.
Trail conditions & character
“There are sometimes folks who bring in reactive dogs they cannot control in order to 'help socialize' at others' expense.”
