We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Wallingford Walking Trail | Fresh Meadows 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.
What runners say about Wallingford Walking Trail | Fresh Meadows
The Wallingford Walking Trail is on a former farm that the Town of Wallingford was wise enough to purchase as open space. Eventually a trail was developed on both sides of the road. There is a huge glacial rock at the start of one side. Please see pictures and on the other side a pond and circular trail.
Great little place to go for a walk or to bird watch. Very diverse wildlife can be seen here from bobcats to ospreys and even giant snapping turtles. Its worth the visit
Public land with a few trails. Some short and flat, some steep. Saw lots of deer and wild turkeys when we went.
