Confirmed from Young Patriots 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.

Lit at night

City park featuring a pond and playground, plus 2 baseball fields and one for football.

What runners say about Young Patriots Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (347 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 8 mentions

“There are two porta-potties near the field (@ the end of the first parking lot) and they are kept clean and stocked with TP and Sanitizer.”

Great, clean park for walking with police and fire departments adjacent to the park. There are baseball diamonds and plenty of room for soccer or a football game with friends.

★★★★☆ — Eric , Oct 2017

Great place to walk around the pond on a blacktop sidewalk. Sometimes the Fountains are on, sometimes not. There us a huge area behind the park that you can fly a kite or whatever. It's also right next to the local fire department so you'll see the apparatuses when the bay doors are open.

★★★★★ — Gebo'S , May 2021

This is a nice park. I watch my nephew's football practice here. There are two porta-potties near the field (@ the end of the first parking lot) and they are kept clean and stocked with TP and Sanitizer. They are NOT handicapped accessible. In fact there's a big drop from inside to the ground.

★★★★★ — Christine , Sep 2022

Nice park, went for Riverview summerfest. Live music and carnival! Good fun. Had a nice pond with a fountain. There are plenty of walking/ bike paths as well.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

💡 Lit for night running 2 mentions

“They even provide lights on the skating rinks when they are open.”
