This review is solely about the Municipal Center's park and greenway, which for these travelers proved a magnificent surprise and a perfect way to spend some time and burn a fee calories. We were in the hood to visit a friend's nearby restaurant (Francos) and took the opportunity to look for a nice place to take a walk on the first sunny day in the last 7 The search said "fitness trail" at the Center, and we parked in a spacious and manicured parking lot next to an obviously well funded building - across from the Post Office and around the corner from the Police Station Below us were a soccer field, softball field, picnic tables, benches, bandstand and large playground...all sparsely populated on this gorgeous summer day. No sign of a trail anywhere... But we asked a gentleman who looked like he had been out for a hike "is there a trail?". So if you don't enter next to the police station around the corner, access to the trail is hidden behind some trees & shrubs at the rear of the park. Once on the greenway we saw what an effort had been made to clean up the river, build and maintain these terrific trails ! The trail splits to flank Route 7 on either side. We took the right...simply beautiful and an easy walk on a paved, undulating trail, traversing the river and several solid bridges. Nature abounds and benches offer even the laziest an opportunity to stroll and enjoy nature 's bounty. Kudos to Brookfield! read more
