We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Phillips Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Phillips Park
“Always clean, well maintained, and full of great community energy.”
We absolutely love Phillips Park. Between our son’s soccer games, the playground, and all the open space, it has become such a special spot for our family. Always clean, well maintained, and full of great community energy.
Nice park. Open field, basketball court, located next to a walking trail, good size playground (great for older kiddos). Parking on street at metered spaces. Benches/picnic tables to relax on and a good amount of trees for shade.
A pleasant little park/playground with two picnic tables, shade trees and nice playground equipment. It is right on Wellesley's beautiful Brook Trail.
Nice quiet playground and basketball courts. Access from the Brooke path
