Confirmed from Parker Meadow Conservation Area'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 Parker Meadow Conservation Area
Great for shorter walks. Nice foraging for plants, also found a black squirrel which I've never seen before.
Walking trail with a pond located in Lexington. The trail is only a few hundred yards long but it is entirely handicap accessible if you don’t mind stone dust pathways. No hills. There is a story walk for the kids who are just learning to read. Parking area has four spots.
Amazing small park area with board walks and a pond. Storybook plaques for kids. Right next to bike path.
Pleasant place to walk, with a small pond that often has ducks and occasional turtles and frogs.
