Confirmed from Copper Hill 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.
Open park featuring a kids' playground as well as soccer and baseball fields.
What runners say about Copper Hill Park
“Also perhaps there was a time there were no bathrooms but there are now and they are well maintained.”
“It's a beautiful little park with a fantastic kids playground and space to play frisbee in and such.”
“Perfect for running on the grass with the dog.”
The parking lot is not small as many reviewers have mentioned. The park is smallish and the lot is the correct size for it. Also perhaps there was a time there were no bathrooms but there are now and they are well maintained. This is a good neighborhood park.
Great open field. Good place to bring kids and throw a ball, or have them run around. No bathrooms, and no outdoor structures, so the potential is limited. But for sports or a quick stop it's great.
Great place to bring family or have a picnick! Overseeing saugus, stars above . Great place to see the full moon or bring a telescope to star gaze. Bring the kids to play at monkey bars while you jog. Perfect for jogging around.
Small parking lot with a drop off round about at the end of the lot. Watering fountain located near restrooms. Even a dog fountain at the bottom. Perfect for running on the grass with the dog. Also has a track along the outskirts of the park. The track circles the entire park. This is a great spot to stretch our legs!
Trail conditions & character
“Only draw back is the bathrooms are not always open when you need to wash hands after bussing your dog.”
“Small parking lot with a drop off round about at the end of the lot.”
“I would have made it to the top but it had rained hard the morning of the day I went and me and the dogs were just getting too muddy so we turned around.”
“There's also a hill path that is pretty narrow and not part of the park but worth the climb if you want to burn some calories.”
