Confirmed from McEachern Greenway'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 offering a playground, barbecue and picnic areas, and a walking trail along a stream.
What runners say about McEachern Greenway
“Nice, clean, and quiet place for a jog.”
“There are sections of this trail that are downright stunning.”
Great greenway with two connected playgrounds if you take the full loop. Most interesting part is the section down Union St. which has amazing historical homes that may come as a surprise to Concord residents that haven’t seen it before.
Beautiful greenway. Paved paths and some bridges as it crosses sections of a river. Big playground, pavilions, bathrooms, etc at the park. Lots of trees and nice scenery. The greenway does go along the road and in neighborhoods for part of the path. The paths are wide for bikes, strollers, etc. Great walking trails.
Great trail for running, walking, and for walking dogs. Shared well during the hot days of summer. The playground is really nice, and the stream runs along the Greenway. Good for biking as well, but kinda short for them.
Nice and peaceful with beautiful views. There is a play area with swings for the littles and and good chunk of the Greenway to walk.
