QUICK TRAIL FACTS

  • Preserve Size: 24 acres
  • Trail Mileage: 0.9 miles in network
  • Pets: yes
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Sights: pond, playing field, forest

The city acquired this 24-acre parcel in 2023, and has improved its playing field and surrounding paths. There is a pleasant system of gravel paths that bring you around the field and through the woods to Washington Ave. Additionally, there is a rougher — but still pleasant — trail through the woods to the north, that passes a little pond. A marble bench is dedicated to a boy who liked to skate and catch frogs here.

Directions: There’s plenty of parking near the playing fields at the end of Ballpark Drive, off of Washington Ave. Once you pass the last house, you’ll follow a dirt road around a bend and up a small rise to the parking area.
