    At A Glance

    Glastonbury Town Park

    40 acres in Glastonbury, CT

    Parking: Medium sized lot near 1285 Manchester Rd Glastonbury, CT

    Trail Map           Trails: 1.5 miles        Rating: ★★☆☆☆

    Buckingham in its early days was known for its ball fields, playground, and a ” an easy half-mile stroll”.  The ballfields and playground are definitely the main attraction but the trails seem to have expanded a bit.

    Hiking

    The trails now include a junction to the cul-de-sac on Heritage Dr and extend east for a good distance though I'm sure this technically leaves the park's property.  I didn’t even reach the end of the east spur trail, I just turned around when it crossed Myer’s Brook again.  The trails extend north of the parking lot.  There is another fork of the north end of the loop that likely completes another loop, but I'm sure this is technically off park property too.  There were no signs marking private property on my 2019 visit.

    The trails seem to be well used and easy to follow.  Dirt bikes are likely the main traffic on the extended trails based on the tire marks and ruts.  There isn’t much of a draw here for non-locals, but it was certainly a nice tromp in the woods.

    History

    The ball fields were built in 1991/2.
