Confirmed from Heritage 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.
Relaxed space featuring a pond, a playground and a dog park.

Daniel Spaghetti sauce, wonderful park maintenance guy.!! MY husband and my brother In law from NH were at the park for walkout refreshment, this kind hearted guy followed us almost a mile into the wooded area and handed the wallet(had valuable documents and $500 cash money) which my brother In law accidentally fell…
A nice place to take a picnic lunch or bring the kids to look at the geese and run around the playground. You can walk around the lake and there are benches to sit and enjoy the scenery. There's a ball field as well. No charge to park or enter.
Great park. They have a playground that is huge for children. You can walk your dogs along the pond and right up to the back soccer field. There is also a dog park so you can let your pooch run around. You have access to 2 baseball fields as well.
