Confirmed from Southington Memorial 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.
Clean recreation area offering a playground, a pool, courts and baseball fields.
What runners say about Southington Memorial Park
“Southington Memorial Park is a clean and well-located spot, though the playground is quite small in size.”
“Lots of tree for shade and plenty of picnic tables to have a bite to eat on.”
Nice pool and splash pad for residence. Plenty of places to grill. "Smallish" playground. Tennis courts, baseball/football fields. Walking trails. Just nice!
I love this park. Fenced in, small but my kids love it. Best of all.. No swings! Hahaha So they will run!
