Confirmed from Col. Connelly Park/Gertrude Spaulding 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.
What runners say about Col. Connelly Park/Gertrude Spaulding Park
Beautiful lakefront park in Wakefield just off the highway with big old trees, benches, a playground, paved walking trails, parking lot and a sausage truck! Such a peaceful spot to walk, eat, play or sit and watch the water.
