Confirmed from Montville Parks & Recreation'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.

What runners say about Montville Parks & Recreation

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (34 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Really impressive Park that features trails, fields, gardens and more. The kids playground is equipped with all of the best outdoor gym equipment. Basketball courts, patios areas, horseshoes. This park goes on and on. The paths lead to the High School Fields which adds to the distances of your walks/runs. Great Park.

★★★★★ — Chuck , Aug 2019

Great place to walk, lovely setting. The community gardens are pretty, especially in the summer and fall.

★★★★★ — Jean , Dec 2018

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.
