Confirmed from Harriet Wetherill 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.
Low-key public space with grassy fields, walking paths, a playground and picnic spots.
What runners say about Harriet Wetherill Park
“Beautiful, small local park that doesn't get too crowded because even in the pandemic, it's something of a hidden gem.”
“Our kids and dog love it and everytime we go it seems like it gets better and better.”
Excellent park that is flat and shaded in many areas so good for jogging but not a long course. A nice area for children to play as well and the pavilion was nice for lunch.
I think this is a 276 highway perfect break spot for you driving all the time type of employees. Whenever one gets on 276....you know how there is so much traffic. Insert sweet gem here to stretch out your legs. In the words of Kanye West....
Beautiful, small local park that doesn't get too crowded because even in the pandemic, it's something of a hidden gem. We found it years ago when we turned into the park we kept driving past, and it's been a great spot for walking around and enjoying the outdoors.
Love this park! The town has done a great job with the trails, the butterfly garden, the playground and the buildings. Our kids and dog love it and everytime we go it seems like it gets better and better. Great job Plymouth Parks and Rec!
