Confirmed from Green Hill 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.
480-acre park with sports, playgrounds, trails, a petting zoo, a golf course & picnic facilities.

Green Hill Park is located in Worcester and is a great place to relax, enjoy the summer, go out with the family, have a barbecue and enjoy the summer. in this park there is a monument that honors the veterans of the war which is very beautiful. It has a lot of green trees, lakes areas for walking and is extremely safe.
I remember as a teen some 40+ yrs ago, hanging around the popular "Green Hill".. I took my son today, I hadn't really had a chance to check out the Vietnam memorial. I must say the whole park has taken on such a beautiful look and new meaning.
Green Hill Park is quite an amazing park here in Worcester. There are amazing views all around. The pond is tranquil and the walk along the hills is very beautiful. The park is very clean and driving to it is a breeze. I visited in late September. I think I will be back to visit in the fall!
Family-friendly grounds with a few picnic tables. This park also hosts a Vietnam War memorial with a central pond, miniature Barnyard Zoo that includes a gorgeous albino peacock. A childrens jungle gym is a short walk from their zoo. An all-around lovely park. When exiting the park, you can go only one way.
