Such a lovely trail. Great easy path and the summit has a lovely view. Definitely worth the hike. It took is about 40 min because we kept stopping to take pictures of the stunning natural surroundings.
I love this little park. Great for exploring. Connects to the South summit trail of Mt Tom. The trail is windy and at the end is a lot of rock climbing. Bring water
Great hike to get some great views!

Faulkner Park is a well-maintained and beautiful park with professionally maintained grounds by Rooted Gardens, offering a quiet and clean environment for outdoor enjoyment. Visitors praise the lovely trails with stunning natural surroundings, clear markings, and great views of downtown Woodstock, Mt. Ascutney, Bridgewater, and a 360-degree view at the summit. Reviewers appreciate the shaded paths through the woods suitable for hiking with dogs or all ages, including infants. The park's proximity to beautifully restored houses adds to its charm as a perfect spot for after-work hikes or leisurely strolls in a gorgeous neighborhood.

We really love this place to hike with the dogs or just by yourself the trails go up the mountain through the woods so even when it's sunny out there is shade it is always beautiful up top the view is 360 degrees. So it's hard not to appreciate the views

Great place to go for a stroll in the woods. Trails are clearly marked, only issue is this is right in town and this heavily travelled. Great view of downtown Woodstock and able to see mt ascutney and Bridgewater on the other side. The star on top, interesting to see up close !
