Nice little loop to run on or take a lunchtime stroll. lovely.
There is a paved route, but there are some decent size hills the entire trail.
You can enter this park on either the Braintree or Weymouth side. Trails are not marked as they should be indicating which direction to head to (Braintree vs Weymouth entrance). Paved which is nice but very hilly – don’t recommend bikes for little children. Clean. Beautiful scenery.
