Confirmed from White 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.
Clean, well-kept park, also called White Park, with a pond and basketball courts.
What runners say about White Park
“The parking lot is huge and the park is clean.”
“The area is beautiful with a lake, swimming pool, playground, courts, a hill for winter sledding, and an ice skating rink.”
Fantastic park in the heart of Concord, NH. This little park packs a lot of activity into a small area. Ballfield, tennis court, hockey rink, sledding hill, ice skating (Rentals available), short walking trail, a pond, micro library, playground and parking area. They also had a pool but some work is being done to it.
I've enjoyed coming to this city park several times now. It offers a variety of features. There is a splash pad, children's play area, basketball court, hockey rink, and ballpark... Plus a spacious grounds to just stroll or walk your dog. Parking lot is adequate but can be completely full on a busy day.
Visited over the weekend and enjoyed all it had to offer. The parking lot is huge and the park is clean. Playground is the wooden variety that makes for adventurous play. There is a public pool you can use if pay before arrival for a pass. Some low key wooded walking and plenty of paved for strollers.
Bring Cheerios for the ducks and pack yourself a lunch. A nice park to spend a couple of hours in just walking around and reading. It's actually an acre larger than the Public Garden down in Boston, but unfortunately half of it is wasted on a baseball field.
