Confirmed from Mill Pond 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 offering a beach, benches, and a peaceful atmosphere.
What runners say about Mill Pond Park
“real clean and safe same sitting bench 👌 nice to have a sigar at sundown.”
“The park is small and homey with beautiful flowering bushes and ducklings and gosling in the spring”
“Calm and serene brook near the park .”
Calm and serene brook near the park . Kids park and bigger Park area here is ideal place for walking.
Its a nice, clean and relaxing place to walk around and hangout. There are benches where you can sit and even have a nice little family picnic. There's a wonderful group of people who clean the park here and there so it's very clean
Nice place to relax and enjoy nature. There is a bench by the pond that you can sit and watch the geese in the pond. It can be a little chilly from the winds. No designated parking spots. Easy to park on the street and walk.
