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.
The town's oldest park offers an inline skating facility, ball fields, tennis courts & a small pond.
What runners say about Old Mountain Field
“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.
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
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.
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.
