Confirmed from Bicentennial 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.
Park featuring a boardwalk and tennis courts as well as picnic tables and a boat launch.
What runners say about Bicentennial Park
“I live close to the park have never had any idea how beautiful this place can be 🛤️🌃 if you visit fall river think about visiting the Bicentennial Park 🔥”
Great park and walking path. I love what the city has done over here. Beautiful and relaxing.
Nice place for a walk. The memorials are incredible. Wonderful spot in Fall River.
Nice location historically and a nice place just to go for a walk on the water. Start here and take a 3 mile round walk to Battleship Cove and back. Enjoy the outdoors. Great place for the kids to Play Pokemon Go. Many stops and gyms
All right there---Offers parking, tennis courts, boat ramp for kayakers too, and nearby restaurant "Barrets on the Waterfront." The Park itself has been greatly improved in 2018 with more benches, and monuments to those who have fought for our country. Plenty of grassy areas and great views of the water and bridge.
