Confirmed from Coe 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.
Landscaped park featuring a serene fountain, a walking path and colorful flowers, plus summer concerts.
What runners say about Coe Memorial Park
“There was a decent crowd,the park was clean and there was a police patrol,the overall experience was good.”
“Sometimes the people you meet in cop park are unsavory, but the flowers in the spring are gorgeous, and there are quite a few activities there during the warmer months.”
A pretty little park set in the center of downtown Torrington with a stone fountain and benches to relax. The city does a really nice job with the shrubbery and flowers. There's a small pavilion that hosts free musical acts during the warmer months.
Coe Memorial Park is located in Torrington and it is their "town green". The land was donated to the city by the Coe family to memorialize their parents; their home and greenhouse were on this 5-acre property. There's a large boulder with a memorial plaque; there were other war memorials as well.
I remember back when I was younger we would go into Price Busters and buy an economy sized bottle of dish soap and drop it in the fountain. Would make piles of suds that were taller than us. Before you knew it, kids and adults were running through the suds. Good clean fun lol.
