Confirmed from Freedom 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.
Local green space featuring a playground, basketball courts, baseball field and sports fields.
What runners say about Freedom Park
“The playground is well kept and there is an interesting variety of things to play with there including bells, drums, a climbing wall, and others.”
“It was a bit breezy and on the chilly side, but what we were offered in exchange was a beautiful double rainbow and an exciting game!”
The Randolph Trails running through this park are an absolute gem — perfect for gravel biking or walking. They were surprisingly uncrowded for a nice early summer day. There's also great facilities for sports and picnics throughout this park.
Cute park! Not to mention it has walking and easy hiking paths off of it. This is not only a sports park that has lacrosse, football, and baseball fields. There is a pavilion to rent or eat at as well. A beach 🏐 volleyball court and a playground with swings for kids. The playground was recently redone and kids love it.
Beautiful grounds. Offers hiking, paved walking trails. Speed bumps upon entry to keep you in check. Well maintained playground for kids. Fields for all sports. Truly a lovely place to pack lunch and spend the day.
Great park for kids, a track to walk, some people come to walk their dogs, there’s a child play area. A sand box, gazebo, bathrooms not open during winter months. Grounds are always kept clean.
