We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Sunrise Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“It’s so peaceful, not crowded, marked trails (wear appropriate shoes) , dog friendly.”

Posted for Suffield Residents Only! If you do not live in town you are not allowed in unless you're going to a function previously scheduled. Large park, wooded trails for hiking around a beautiful pristine pond. Swimming area for people and a separate area for dogs. Abundant fishing and activities for kids.

★★★★★ — Tim , Aug 2019

I love this park! It’s so peaceful, not crowded, marked trails (wear appropriate shoes) , dog friendly. Don’t tell anyone. Perfect leaf peeping foliage. I will definitely come back here !

★★★★★ — Tori , Oct 2023

We love coming here! Very peaceful park! My mom used to bring us here when we’re kids during summer vacation so we can swim and jump from the floating platform. Years later I came here with my two kids and looks like the beach part is not getting any cleaning. The water is dirty and I wouldn’t really get in it.

★★★★☆ — Dima , Aug 2023

A wonderful place for a quite winter walk. I love to hear the ice cracking.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
