Confirmed from Bruce Ream Memorial 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.
Kid-friendly outdoor space offering baseball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts and soccer pitches, plus a splash park.
What runners say about Bruce Ream Memorial Park
“It is always so well maintained, thank you Hampshire!”
“Beautiful park located in Hampshire with a handicap accessible playground and splash pad.”
Beautiful park located in Hampshire with a handicap accessible playground and splash pad. The covered shelter worked out fantastic for our needs in celebrating our son's birthday party with friends and family. A walking path encompasses the park.
Great park! Splash pad, softball, basketball, sand volleyball, jogging path, picnic facilities and pickleball court. Soccer as well. Good parking. Well maintained.
We love the little splash pad! They have a playground, a walking path, a full basketball court, a Pavillion with plenty of tables, and a huge soccer field too! It is always so well maintained, thank you Hampshire! 😊
Awesome park. Great for kids and the entire family. They have a track you can run in. Tons of stuff a basketball court, baseball field, soccer nets. A small park for smaller kids.
