Confirmed from Colburn 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.
Town park with a bandstand & lawn seating featuring seasonal events from concerts to movie nights.
What runners say about Colburn Park
“It's nice to see other families there, even on weekdays, and everything is pretty clean.”
“It's really beautiful and a nice place to meet people and helps you wind down and free your thoughts.”
Quintessential New England central square/ park. Family friendly. Many benches and picnic tables. Frequent free performances in the warmer months and farmers markets. Paved walkway.
Lovely little town green. I had a few hours to kill while my tow hitch was being installed and this was a great place to spend the time. There are plenty of benches and picnic tables. Many were well shaded. There is a small playground for the kids.
Spent Independence Day at this park with family. The park was very clean with lots of shade. 😎 We took a walk around some of the paved paths and had plenty of room for our cornhole on the grass. The park has a pool area as well as playground, making it the perfect family spot.
A lovely place to go for a walk. You can choose if you want to be on top of the hill or the middle of the hill down on the bottom of the hill. The walkways are clear and there's restrooms in the area. Childrens playground, people walking their dogs ,seems very safe and fun
