Confirmed from Curtiss 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 Curtiss Park
“Quiet, well maintained, ample parking, perfect for a soccer tournament.”
This park has four soccer fields and a large picnic pavilion. Parking was spacious but on dirt/gravel. When we went, it was early afternoon so there was not much shade. We were able to relax in the picnic pavilion for a bit, which was fully shaded on this hot day. The Farmington River is adjacent to this park.
Farmington river is a great to we for cruising in a canoe or kayak. Curtiss Park is one of many put-ins. Plenty of parking and usually has a portapotty. Can go at least 2-3 miles downstream before you'll want to turn around (current gets bigger gradually after that then ends up at Tarrifville gorge classII/III…
A peaceful and scenic spot to enjoy, especially for a winter stroll. It's nice to have all the fields during the off season to yourself. A very nice wood lined area with the river nearby. A great place to walk the dogs, you can relax & enjoy the nature with out the crowds!!
