Confirmed from Firehouse 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.

“Wonderful walking trail which is clean and quiet.”

🐕 dog-walking favorite 3 mentions

“Great place to walk your dog or just to walk!”

A nice small trail nearby is a good use of land between the turnpike and a neighborhood.

★★★★☆ — Sam , Nov 2022

Its an okay place for a quick walk. Trail is not that long but is it not a busy park like others:)

★★★★☆ — Marie , Mar 2019

Very clean for the most part. Part in the woods is on top of an old dump and the stream that runs through it is full of very old broken glass

★★★★★ — Liam , Apr 2019

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
