Confirmed from Highland 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.
Park featuring trails for walking, disc golf and cross-country running.
What runners say about Highland Park
“Well maintained trail system park part of an old golf course.”
“An excellent place to walk and train your dog, see tons of wildlife and birdwatch, or just enjoy a peaceful time.”
This is an old golf course that has been turned into a natural preserve. I walk here all the time, it's peaceful, you see bunnies and so many birds. It's a nice, easy walking area. Dogs on leashes are welcome, and they have portable toliets.
Great place to go for a quiet walk. Lots of space, so plenty of solitude. Various trails cross the property so there are options each time you visit. Nice fields, but sometimes geese make a mess of things. I find it fascinating to walk around and see how nature is reclaiming the land.
Well maintained trail system park part of an old golf course. Great job Attleboro Parks or whoever maintains the wide open trails.
This is a great simple park. The grounds are well kept with clear walking paths. There aren't a ton of family activity things to do here as there isn't an included playground or sitting area. That having been said it is a great place to walk and enjoy the outside without having to deal with lots of people.
