Confirmed from Mary Burnham 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.
Clean park for baseball and softball, that also provides picnic spots and a playground.

I found Mary Burnham Park to be clean and well maintained. It has a paved walking path, three baseball diamonds, basketball court, newer playground equipment, shelter house, a large open field and adequate parking. Only one portable restroom. The Fairfield Heritage Trail goes through the park.
Nice clean park with ball fields big area for dogs to run and picnic area with a few playground toys for kids
