Description
This white-blazed trail is the main line of Newton Road Park, located east of Newton Rd between the high school grounds and Hampton Drive. Unlike the nearby and very popular Newton Street Park, this confusingly-named neighbor is much less known/visited. It offers a quiet and pretty hike, fairly flat in terms of altitude, but somewhat challenging in places due to the wetland terrain.
