Confirmed from Happy Landings Protected Open Space'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.
Tranquil park with expansive open fields, a pet-friendly environment & sunset views.

“Great place to bring the dog to run around.”
“Met a few friendly dog walkers which seems to be a popular place to take pets.”
Great place to get a good walk in without spending money or overdoing it. Dogs allowed and the landscape is stunning!
This park is incredibly well maintained and is extremely clean. It is actually a lot bigger than I originally anticipate and is moderately difficult for anyone who may have injuries.
We love to go and walk around Happy Landings. Is muddy but we have boots to just walk over. It is a peaceful open area. Sadly as always some dog owners do not pick after their dogs, regardless the place is beautiful
Wonderful place to go on a walk, really any time of the year, but especially during the summer months. The tall fields of hay look absolutely gorgeous in the latter half of the day. Great for dogs too.
