Confirmed from Broad Street Green'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 with a pond offering peaceful space for walks, picnics, and kids.
What runners say about Broad Street Green
“Small groups of friends gather to chat, dogs playing, a well kept quiet place to enjoy a morning and a good book.”
“No playground but surrounded by beautiful homes and one block from the heart of old Wethersfield.”

Old Wethersfield and the town green is a great place to take a walk, take in a museum, get a cup of coffee or a meal. If you like old architecture and classic New England appeal, this is the place!
If you're in the mood for a good historical walking tour and seeking some colonial era houses to stare at, do the Green and main street.
I have lived in wethersfield for over 10 years and the wethersfield green will always bring back good memories for me. There was a tornado about 5 years ago that ripped 100 year old trees right out of the ground. You can see many of the trees commerated by benches or plaques.
The green is beautiful, well maintained, and very peaceful everytime I'm there. It has quite a few pokéstops for Pokémon Go, and is a nice extra route if you're walking through Old Wethersfield playing already.
