Confirmed from Bradford Hawes 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.
Public park with picnic areas, a playground, basketball and street hockey courts, and a baseball field.
What runners say about Bradford Hawes Park
“Port a potty is clean and is a benefit if your little one can't hold it.”
“Clean and quiet with some shade, benches and tables to eat at.”
When I moved to Weymouth in 2005 my daughter was just turning 4, this park was and still is great! They also used to have an Easter egg hunt in the spring🐰 run by Community Baptist Church💒 across the street. I ended becoming a member of that church and getting married there!
Excellent park! Basketball court, swings, baseball field, playground with 2 areas (older kids vs. toddlers/younger kids), and nice walking trails up into the woods
Great little local spot. Large baseball field; not a ton of parking spaces; a short walking trail in the back and a nice playground.
Shade is a big bonus here. Port a potty is clean and is a benefit if your little one can't hold it.
