Confirmed from Pequitside Farm'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.

Excellent little park to bring kids or a dog (on leash). Around 10am on a beautiful sunny weekday it was very lightly trafficked - especially for such a location. Easy little trails and well kept lawns. Nice to peek into the community garden and the playground is good too.

★★★★☆ — Sarah , May 2021

Great playground: swings, slides, climbing. Picnic tables, open fields, soccer fields, short and easy walking trails. Dog-friendly! Porta-potties and water-fountain to boot. Pro-tip: there’s a connection in the back to the local Mass Audobon property (American Museum of Bird Art).

★★★★★ — April , Sep 2017

Very nice place to relax, and exercise. The place is nicely kept. The Only problem is some visitors who walked their dogs didn't observe the required Leash Law & let their dogs running around & barking.

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.
