Reviews
Nice trails for a relaxing walk with kids or dogs. Jogging early when not a lot of other pedestrian traffic will make the experience more enjoyable.
If you like a quiet peaceful seat by the pond, a walk, jog, run, ride, go early. less people, less bikers, less dog walkers if that’s your forte.
Enjoy the tranquility!
Absolutely beautiful foliage at this time of the year. This hidden gem is between Belmont Lake State Park and Argyle Pond, so many people have missed it. This tiny little park is beautiful, dogs friendly and the trails are easy to walk. You may need to share the path with horses if you are luck to see one. Limited Parking spaces are on the south end of the park.
Love this place for runs, but TOB need to get on top of the upkeep a little better- they have been until recently quite good with this.
Some uprooted trees and loose boards on footbridges causing unnecessary hazards to foot traffic as well as the underpass under Sunrise Highway being totally uneven and poorly lit. There also needs to be some action taken against the large number of motorized scooters and bikes taking over the pathways.
Otherwise a beautiful park.
Lots of firm trails for bicycle pedestrians, lots of unmarked trails for hiking and nature. Ride or walk run all the way up to Belmont park and back to the train station and Argyle lake.
