Confirmed from Governor Oliver Ames Estate Community 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.
Hike-friendly, sledding, picnicking park featuring lakes and trails, plus a manor house and a pond.
What runners say about Governor Oliver Ames Estate Community Park
“Such a beautiful area to relax, look and enjoy nature, kids are happy to be outdoors and burn some energy, quite alot of people with their easels painting by the water today.”
Genuinely surprised at the amount of shrews running around the park, almost a shocking amount. However what I cannot forgive is the wanting feeb that wanders the property licking unturned stones and picking the nits off of park goers. I don’t know maybe they should stop him 😬
Safe, friendly place for walking, sitting or picnicking. One large pond and a small lily pond.
One of the most beautiful places I've been in the Easton area. It has so many different types of trees and plants, a couple of gorgeous lakes, and an incredibly rich history. Make sure you check it out. You will feel so much more tranquil after walking there.
Excellent park that is well maintained. The Trustees have done a great job here. There is one main trail that goes around the park. There's plenty of places to wander as well. You'll find several picnic tables next to the Shovelshop Pond.
