Confirmed from Russell Farms Community 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.
Small green space with a children's playground, slides, and picnic tables.
What runners say about Russell Farms Community Park
“Plenty of parking and a few tables, this park is very clean and well kept.”
Very cute park, in a nice neighborhood. It's medium size ( not the biggest park nor the smallest I have been to) is just perfect for those times where you want to stroll but also have ur kids play on the playground/field (my toddler is at the stage where sometimes she just wants to play, sometimes she just wants to…
Open, flat walk path, playground for 2-5 year olds, about a dozen benches and a pagoda. Plenty of parking and a few tables, this park is very clean and well kept. There are no bathrooms.
Really nice park with a loop you can walk that I believe is about 1/4 mile. Benches and trees around the edges. Pathway is a bit narrow but for most of the loop it’s easy to go around someone on the grass if needed. It can get busy especially on days where school is out or right when school ends on weekdays.
Great quit little park for walking dogs. They have a walkway around the perimeter of park and poop stations for based poop.

“However, there were no bathrooms- which isn't necessarily an issue, but just something to keep in mind if bathroom availability is needed.”
