Confirmed from Old Mountain Field'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.

“Thank you for having this here 😃 😊 I took a nice walk in the morning and was happy to see clean bathrooms!”

Beautiful fireworks on the 4th of July. They go for a half an hour. If you want to get good parking where you won't have to wait for traffic use the Shaw's parking lot or the old job lot parking lot. I personally use the Shaw's parking lot because of the traffic light and that it's right next to Route 1.

★★★★★ — Scott , Jul 2019

A beautiful park with a tennis court two diamonds and a skatepark. In the back you will a find wildlife preserve with nature trails thoughout and a bike path leading to the Broad Rock playing fields and dog park

★★★★★ — Tim , Aug 2016

A huge sports field complex, with baseball, basketball, skateboarding, and open fields and a short hiking trail. The Fourth of July fireworks there are excellent.

★★★★★ — Steve , Oct 2019

Went for fireworks. Was a repeat of previous years, meaning was truly great. I think they actually upped the ante this years. Well run and great family event.

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.
