Confirmed from Halls Pond 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.
Pond and playground area with ducks, geese and geese.

Lovely small pond. With plenty of ducks, geese, and fish. Nice path around. A small playground, gazebo, benches. Beautiful monuments to Korean and Vietnam War Vets, as well as a September 11, 2001 WTC memorial.
Was a nice relaxing little park. The ducks and turtles made it even more scenic. I always visit when I'm nearby
