Confirmed from Mine Brook 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 featuring wooded trails for walking and a playground.

It's beautiful. Playground for the kids, a small hicking trail, bathroom available..etc Loved it
Good for a walk with your dog or friend. There is a play ground and fields for family fun 😊
Seems to be a nice little park in the area, with some trails that appear to follow the creek. When we were there, the creek was partly dried up, so it was interesting to see people standing under the bridge. We met up with some family and walked around the loop once, then hung out under a tree for a little while.
One of the best public parks in the area. It is very clean, and usually not overcrowded. It has a good amount of open space, a covered pavillion with picnic tables, a baseball diamond, soccer pitch, and a playground. It's a great place for families or for walking/running. It's also very close to the police station.
