This park has plenty of wide dirt trails that are clearly marked, without being paved. It's not the kind of pristine, solitary nature experience that is ideal in a hike, but it's an easy hike for young kids. For the urban locale, I think they do a pretty good job. The park's wildlife is nothing special. Just commonplace New England fauna like squirrels and robins. I don't think it's large enough to attract any more diverse wildlife. The road is pretty much visible from all points. Litter was not bad, but again this is not a deep-woods hike and there are plenty of signs of human activity.

I agree with some other posters that dogs (or rather, ignorant owners) can be a problem. I don't know what the leash law is in this area, but I saw a lot of off-leash dogs. In fact, at one point when I was a little off the trail, I heard loud growling huge black dog came toward me aggressively. Luckily I grew up in an area with lots of dogs and know how to behave around a strange dog. But if it had been a young child in my place, they might have panicked or run and the owner would have been no way been able to control this big off-leash dog. The park has a lot of potential but needs to have clear, better enforced regulations about dogs.
