Confirmed from Hayford 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.
Public park offering amenities such as a playground, picnic tables, and a skateboard area, as well as baseball fields and a pool.
What runners say about Hayford Park
“Bangor Parks & Rec does a great job of keeping it clean and well groomed.”
“Especially in winter it is an enjoyable treat for kids of all ages.”
Great neighborhood park. Quite a few people drive a bit to come here too as it is so nice. Playground is great, but there is also an excellent set of walking trails, a sled hill, a skate park, a ball park, and hockey ring all right there, as well as a pool with water slides.
Especially in winter it is an enjoyable treat for kids of all ages. The long sloping hill is wonderful for sleds and toboggans. The ensuing ascent back to the top is not too much effort even for small adventurers.
Tennis ! Playground! Events ! This spot is wonderful for a walk around because something is usually going on.
Fantastic playground for my 5yo. Recently renovated. I did spend about 30 minutes wondering how my son was going to injure himself. Turns out it wasn't at the park at all. It was on the way to the bathroom when he tripped on the raised concrete path and split his lip.
Trail conditions & character
“I wish there were bathrooms available for the playground and such, that would make staying longer much easier.”
“It also has a hill that has been a favorite place for kids and adults alike to go sledding in the winter.”
“Also have the beth pancoe pool in the same parking lot which is nice and pretty affordable.”
