Confirmed from Stringham 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.
Big recreational area for baseball and soccer fields and basketball courts.
What runners say about Stringham Park
“Basketball courts have games going most evenings and the soccer fields are well maintained (game days primarily sat.”
“A beautiful park to allow the kids to play and enjoy the great outdoors.”
This is a large town park with a new playground. On-site facilities, and great fields for sports and leisure. No dogs, but that's to keep the area clean for all to use. It has a nice track around a small pond for walking and cycling (just be aware of others).
Almost perfect. I moved to the area about a year ago and Im still on the lookout for parks like this that have a lake/pond with a paved walking path to take my dogs for a quick quiet walk that isnt the Railtrail (very hot and usually too crowded me). However dogs are not allowed at this park leashed or not.
Track around the pond is a little more than 1/2 mile and flat terrain. There is also a loop around the entire park. Basketball courts have games going most evenings and the soccer fields are well maintained (game days primarily sat./Sun. For league use). Concession stand open on sat.
Nice, relaxing, quiet... Park says NO DOGS, yet people bring them and pretend they didn't know despite the 40 signs posted. Has a paved path with benches around a fairly clean pond that you can fish in (Bass, Crappie and Sunfish). Lots of Geese and Ducks with an abundance of Bunnies and Turtles..

“Unfortunately, no actual bathroom unless there is a soccer game tho, but porta-potty is available tho.”
“Park says NO DOGS, yet people bring them and pretend they didn't know despite the 40 signs posted.”
“Only wish the parking lots were completely paved and the goose poop on the track was cleaned off more frequently or they did something to curb the geese at the park.”

“I will still probably visit for the walking trail loop around Keith's Pond without my dogs.”
