Confirmed from Schick 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.
What runners say about Schick Park
“I hope the current closure is only seasonal; the park still looks as lovely and well kept as ever.”
Small park that’s fully fenced. Off-leash until 9AM. During the month of March all Brookline park fields are off-limits which made this park feel even smaller, and thankfully a local let me know otherwise my doggies were happily running on the field!
This is a small but nice park. I bring my dog here to run and play off leash through the Brookline green dog program. Dogs are allowed off leash before 9am. This park is fully fenced in and has three gates. There are a few benches along the edge of the field and a picnic table in a covered area.
Nice, very quiet park. Especially good for parents/kids. I only wish there was a way to visualize the increased elevation relative to the surrounding area (quite a hike to get up here). That would be super cool
Trail conditions & character
“I bring my dog here to run and play off leash through the Brookline green dog program.”

“There is street parking only but the park is off of a very quiet street.”
Plan your run at Schick Park
The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- SurfaceNatural surface — easiest on the joints and the most fun, but expect roots, rocks and mud after rain
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- At the trailheadparking, water — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
- Stroller / wheelchairReported as smooth and step-free enough for a running stroller or a chair.
