Confirmed from Town Center 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.
Public park with space for sledding, a farmers' market, concerts, and other events, plus a playground.
What runners say about Town Center Park
“A truly beautiful quiet retreat, a place to enjoy your lunch in between the work monotony.”
One of my favorite parks to visit, nearby school, a field, volleyball court, venue, children's park, nearby library, farmers market held here, nearby stream and right outside stop and shop by trail. Convenient access to all three places. Good biking trail. Spacious. Events held here.
Such a gorgeous and massive park! Was in town for a race and got to experience a bit of the park but the entire greenway, and wow! Such a beautiful tree covered trail! Im a little jealous of anyone that lives in the area.
It was a beautiful spot with a sunny open field and then a shady trail next to a creek. Very peaceful and lots of people walking and talking. I recommend it.
