Confirmed from Patriot Park'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.
This community park offers sports facilities, including 4 ball diamonds, a soccer field & play area.
What runners say about Patriot Park
“Restrooms were clean and didn't run out of TP which if you've ever been to a big tournament with tons of girls and moms, you know that is a precious resource!”
Patriot Park is an expansive, well-groomed complex of baseball fields. There is ample parking and plenty of space for fans to social distance as they watch the games. There is a pretty walking trail that goes around the perimeter of the park by wetlands.
Nice ball diamonds. parking lot is not big enough , people end up parking in grass and all over unorganized and have to walk far.
Not bad as far as softball fields go. Minuses: My daughter as a catcher did not really love how far it was to the backstop from home plate. Crushed limestone surface on the infield which can be hard for girls when sliding.
