Confirmed from Burleigh 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.
Large, shaded park and ballfield complex for kids' baseball league games, including team photos.
What runners say about Burleigh Park
“All fields are clean, well maintained, and have a small storage box in the batting section with a few baseball supplies.”
“Burleigh Park in Palmer, Massachusetts Beautiful and peaceful land that I have been coming to for a few years now.”
“Several shady trails, a brook and tiny river, fields (golf?”
Nice park. It really could use some help. My wife grew up in Burleigh during the 70's. She has watched it slowly die a death of a thousand cuts due to budget. Eventually the town will have to decide if it's worthwhile to invest in the park.
My pup loves this place. It will always be a powerful memory of our good times together. The trails in the back are always secluded and beautiful. Perfect doggy dreamland.
This year, our family took part in coaching an instructional t-ball team with players ranging from 3-6yrs of age. There are porta-pottys for public use. All fields are clean, well maintained, and have a small storage box in the batting section with a few baseball supplies. All involved do their part to keep it clean.
Nice well kept park with a decent little trail system throughout! Not a ton of mileage, but great for a quick afternoon walk to get a mile or two in!
