Description

This 19.5 acre park off Stage Road was purchased by the Town of Plainfield in 1988 and features playing fields, a baseball diamond, and a quaint, gently sloping trail. The Nature Trail follows the steep upper bank of Blow-Me-Down Brook where a granite bench honoring Dana Meadows's conservation advocacy is located. The trail loops back form the elevated stream bank to wander through a tall forest of mixed hardwoods, returning to the back of the baseball diamond where picnic tables are located.

Other Information

A portable restroom is available by the baseball diamond during warm months.

Tried to bike this trail in early July of 2015 and found it completely overgrown and unrideable.
