The trail in this park connects to an extensive system of trails throughout Aurora and Newmarket. Good for both short and long walks.

Great walking trail for hiking, dog walking, or to take kids. Some exercise equipment along sections of the trail, goes through a variety of trail types depending on your path, from gravel to dirt/leaves, it is such a peaceful spot and break from the city.

Went on a somewhat cloudy day. A beautiful trail, well-maintained, and offers a good variety in scenery and pathways between gravel and more natural paths! Not busy whatsoever, just a few people on the trail.

A hidden gem of nature and beautiful trails. Perfect place to focus on our connection to nature. It's also where all the pumpkins end up after Halloween

Pretty nice trail. Very short and it’s flat enough for the stroller all the way through. It must be really beautiful here in fall. There are several historic cabins along the trail, including the Dr.shepherds house. Looks really cool, would make a great film location. Huge parking lot so don’t worry about parking. dogs must be on leash. We went there for a Sunday evening walk. The whole trail took us 20 min to complete with a stroller. There’s a longer trail down the hill as well if you like hike down.
