Confirmed from Fulton 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.
Relaxed option featuring two ponds, paths for biking & walking, a playground & picnic spots.
What runners say about Fulton Park
“A little bit of garbage but my son wanted to help clean.”
“the park is very beautiful, there is a place to walk, walk with the children, toys, but it lacks a little care and cleanliness.”
“It’s close to the main road, but it’s still quiet enough to hear birds and insects once you walk to the middle of the park.”
This park surprisingly had a variety of pathways, things to see, and thinks to do. There’s a basketball court, sprinklers for the kids, a proper park, and multiple paved and unpacked trails. It’s close to the main road, but it’s still quiet enough to hear birds and insects once you walk to the middle of the park.
Beautiful park for walking or kids playing! Nice neighborhood. Only real downside is the street only parking and the amount of geese poop!
Fulton is a large park with a pond. There a nice, clean play area for kids. There large areas to walk around and enjoy the outdoor sunshine and fresh air.
Fulton Park in Waterbury, Connecticut has always felt like one of those places that holds a lot more peace than people expect at first glance. When I’ve gone there, it’s usually been for a reset—just needing air, space, and somewhere that doesn’t feel like the noise of the city is pressing in.
