Confirmed from King Oak Hill 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.

“Paved walkways allow waking for all ages.”

Beautiful park. Open dusk-to-dawn (locked gate). Has a .25 mile paved walking loop, outdoor bench’s for seating, grass field for picnics and large parking lot. Stunning gazebo with exposed wood beams for events. Surveillance cameras / video to deter vandalism. Hopefully this gem stays clean & new 🤞.

★★★★★ — Sheriff , Sep 2019

Truly one of the nicest parks in Weymouth. Whether you’re here for some fresh air and a good walk or an event, the landscaping is always well kept and the scenery is beautiful. Despite its condition, the Emery Mansion is full of character and beauty. Hope it gets the TLC it needs and it opens for the public soon!

★★★★★ — Rafael , Apr 2020

This is one of my favorite places to walk for exercise. It is a beautiful spot, it is rarely crowded, and the walking path is in good shape. Also it has good drainage so it doesn't get swampy when the snow melts.

★★★★☆ — Curtis , Mar 2022

The park is gorgeous and well maintained. The loop is paved and it’s a quarter mile. The house has an interesting history I just hope someone is able to bring it back to its former glory some day.

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.
