Confirmed from The Park at Harlinsdale Farm'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.
200-acre public park on a historic horse farm, with hiking trails, a dog park & a sports arena.
What runners say about The Park at Harlinsdale Farm
“The entire property is gorgeous, and there are separate fenced-in areas for the large and small dogs.”
“If you are visiting this park for fun, to spend peaceful time together with your family and friends, you will get best out of this place.”
“The atmosphere was festive and family-friendly, with lots of people bringing blankets and lawn chairs to settle in comfortably.”
“You can still find a quiet spot to enjoy the sunsets, take fido to the dog park or walk around the pond but you won’t be alone.”
Wonderful place to come for a walk! If there is not an event happening. I would recommend walking around the farm but then heading towards the lake in the back of the property! Big trees with lots of shade that I'm sure would be great for a picnic. Also it is pet friendly! But they do recommend pets to stay on a leash.
Wow. Lots to do at this park! Plenty of photo ops too. While we were there, a bunch of other people were doing wedding photos. That is how nice of is. We went after hours so it was nice and quiet. Good for nature, but not much action with dogs and horses.
"The Farm" is a gorgeous space! As a High School Senior Portrait photographer (SENIORITY Photography), I spend a lot of time here and in the surrounding areas! Barns/Water/Stone Walls are all incredible spots. Pilgrimage Festival is a must-see each August and sunsets look epic over the farm.
March 2020- We were looking for a place to eat our lunch while social distancing and found this place. No picnic tables or anything but we had a blanket and found just the perfect spot. Then we enjoyed walking around the grounds that are quite beautiful.
Trail conditions & character
“They have two separate dog parks (one for small dogs and one for big dogs), which I really appreciate, and plenty of trails to wander without feeling crowded.”
“The entire property is gorgeous, and there are separate fenced-in areas for the large and small dogs.”
“If you are visiting this park for fun, to spend peaceful time together with your family and friends, you will get best out of this place.”
“Leaving the parking lot was poorly coordinated, so it took a way longer than it should have to get out.”
“Many of which are under construction at the moment, so it's a mix of off-road and paved.”
“The park itself is set back far off of Franklin Road, easily accessible with ample parking.”
