We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Mountain Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Mountain Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (48 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Mountain Park in Dover is a relatively new, mostly undeveloped park. It's a long skinny section of wooded hillside that stretches from South Morris St. on the southwest end of the park, to Salem St. on the northeast end of the park. (There is no access to the trail system from Salem St. Please do not park there.
