Confirmed from Heistein 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.

Sprawling recreational area for baseball and soccer, plus a pond, lake and playground.

What runners say about Heistein Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (154 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“The fields are well kept and there is a small playground for the kids to use.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

Large Park in Randolph offers numerous baseball and softball fields that do not drain well. If you have games scheduled at this location, any rain will quickly compromise the infield. The fields play well under good conditions. This location is a few miles off route 10..

★★★★☆ — Chuck , Jun 2018

Great park. Plenty of parking, it has baseball fields and soccer fields and alot of open space. Our favorite part is that it connects with the Local trails that take you to other areas. The center piece of this park is its large pond that looks amazing during Fall and just as pretty during a winter snow.

★★★★★ — Willy , Oct 2022

Lovely little pond and park with walking path around it. Great fall colors!

★★★★★ — Rakhi , Oct 2024

The park essentially has two parts. The recreational part with the baseball, soccer, lacrosse fields, the pavilon, and a small playground. On the other side, a small lake with paved walking paths. The lake is small and shallow, but there are fish for sure.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
