We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Brooks Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Landscaped recreational area with baseball fields, several tennis courts and a pickleball area.
What runners say about Brooks Park
“Nice clean play ground fenced all around one way in and out so adults can monitor their child's where about,plenty to play on, bike path,picnic tables”
Best play ground !! We've been to quite a few . Always a pickleball tournament the bike trails right there all different age parts of the playground usually a good group of kids to socialize and if not that's fine too because it's just a great spot to bring your kids.
A favorite regular stop for me. I grew up in and around Brooks park. Band stand, weekly free music in the summers. There are decent restrooms. Big old trees, a beautiful baseball field along with tennis courts (free) and pickleball courts (also free). Water station near where the rail trail borders the park.
Located in Rt 6A in Brewster, this huge park is, grassy and flowers in bloom, depending on the season.The park holds an area of interest for everyone. Great for kids (has a playground), nature lovers, walkers and it, has historical interest. Lovely walking paths leading to salt water marshes.
Awesome park with updated tennis courts, basketball courts, handball and pickleball. Bandstand, baseball field, playground, picnic tables and plenty of places to park. On the Cape Cod rail trail too!
