Confirmed from Binney 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.
A picturesque spot hosting July 4th celebrations, with a pond that's popular for winter ice skating.
What runners say about Binney Park
“The grounds are well maintained, with plenty of space for walking, relaxing, or enjoying time with family.”
“Beautiful and well maintained park but if you’re looking for silence and peace, this is not a great place.”
“The lake and bridges are picturesque and it is quiet, romantic and very serene.”
Lovely place for a picnic. The bathroom is always clean and well maintained, and occasional live musi. Great place for pictures and a walk.
Binney Park is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The pond and bridges create such a scenic atmosphere, and I was delighted to see so many tortoises in the lake water—it makes the park feel full of life and charm. The grounds are well maintained, with plenty of space for walking, relaxing, or enjoying time with family.
Spent lots of time here while we were visiting. Kids loved watching for turtles. Paths were great for sunset bike rides. Lots of beautiful greenery and water. Lots of great benches and spots to hang out and enjoy some quiet time.
It was nice to get out last week, to walk around, still alot of people dont get it to wear your mask in public
