Confirmed from Hyland Ponds Open Space'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.
Kid-friendly park with trails, ponds and a playground, plus a dock for fishing.
What runners say about Hyland Ponds Open Space
“Clean trail and neat area close to a busy street.”
“Very beautiful scenery and quite an active area for what it is.”
Short trail that connects to two neighborhoods. With three ponds. A playground. In the heart of Westminster. The best times to see its splendor is in spring, early summer. In the middle of fall. And the snow in winter.
Nice place to walk. Glad they left some open space in this very over populated area. Some really big old trees.
Great open space with 2 ponds and miles of trails. Benches and a dock for taking in the surroundings.
I think the ponds are beautiful. very great open space and trails. I took a walk over and there were several places to sit, when I need a break
