Confirmed from Park L'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.
Relaxed space providing baseball fields, paved paths and a picnic pavilion, plus an off-leash area for dogs.
What runners say about Park L
“Great community spot for dog owners! Love that they treat the grass for ticks too.”
Beautiful park with well maintained trails. Great for running, walking, and biking. Ample turf for other outdoor activities. There's also a designated dog play area.
Here from out of town to help out daughter and son in law with their dogs. Accidentally found this park. It is terrific for a well behaved pup who can be off leash.open space for ball retrieving and general social play. Owner can get circuit walk in while dog enjoys her freedom.
Park L is a really nice space, tucked in just off the bike trail alongside the Malden River. It was recently built (around 2019, I think) with several athletic fields for soccer, baseball, basketball. It has a Pavillion with picnic tables as well as a play structure.
Amazing off leash dog park , big open green grass and space dedicated for your dogs. Bring your own water, there is a community tap but open only in summer. Well maintained and people are also mostly well behaved. Good for walking too inside the park with your dog off leash or outside in the trails.

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- SurfacePaved — asphalt or concrete. Fast and predictable, runnable year-round, and fine with a stroller
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
- At the trailheadwater — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
