Confirmed from River's Edge Recreation Complex'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.
Park featuring a playground, trails, a dog park, and opportunities for soccer, picnics, and fishing.

Beautiful. Hideaway place. My Jasper loves playing here he runs around and has fun. The pond is full of wild life. You hear the birds, frogs and other nature sounds. There is a walking path.
The dog park is great, with a playground right across. Public restrooms are always clean and stocked, and tberes some nice tables to picnic at. The walking/bike trail is nearby as well
Peaceful scenic walk/bike path along the Blackstone River. Veterans Memorial Park at the other side of the parking lot. Very beautiful, well kept, I was a little teary-eyed remembering our POWs, Vets and those who continue to serve. Jan 2018, My 18 year old son signed a blank check to our country.
