Confirmed from Half Mile Falls 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.
Peaceful spot featuring a viewing platform for examining the rapids of the Westfield River.

Tucked between the green bridges in downtown Westfield, this park offers some of the best views in town. It’s conveniently located right off the bike path. The viewing platform offers up close access to the river and it’s rapids.
Very nice little park between two scenic bridges! A bit noisey due to the bridges but during sunset a beautiful location to shoot some photos!
Great addition to downtown Westfield. Picnic area,river views access to bike path nearing completion.
