We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Fairfield Hills Campus Walking Trails yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Fairfield Hills Campus Walking Trails
Great walking trail in a nice area with plenty of free parking. Great for dog walking and strollers.
Fair Field Hills is a pretty area. I definitely liked walking, running, and bike riding through here because it’s pretty and fun. Have a great day!
Great stroller trail! Really enjoyed the scenery! Will continue to visit this trail with my newborn!
Best place in town to go for a walk or run. Flat and hilly portions so anyone can find a route to their liking. Fairfield Hills also contains the Community Center that has the indoor pool, it has the NYA you can join (health club - I go for a walk after every morning workout) and a brewery to pop in for a quick pint…
