Confirmed from Westborough Minuteman 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.
Park with a trail around the lake, as well as picnic benches.

Nice place for a quick walk around. I have passed through this multiple times in all seasons and it always amazes me. Its beautiful place for a sunset in all seasons. We finally made time to visit this after snow storm and full part was frozen and full of snow. Its not crowded so perfect for covid times.
I came here with my friends for a walk. The lake was frozen and the ice layer was pretty thick and other people were also ice skating on it. We walked across the lake on the ice and it was a fun experience as I've never walked on the frozen lake before.
This is my happy place, I go there for walks or just to clear my mind.
This is my favorite spot in town this time I completed trail of entire lake. It was very good at some place trail is not marked properly so just path to follow i captured some good pics as I went there as photography purpose
