    Tunxis Mead - Thomas Quirk Park is large community outdoor sports facility. Soccer, tennis,…read morebaseball, softball, lacrosse, play scape, even a groovy skate park, and wooded trails along the Farmington River. The fields are kept neat and clean by the Farmington Parks and Recreation Department and generally only used for scheduled sporting events. The trails are my favorite through the 4 seasons. Quiet trails with our pup and the occasional chance of other friendly pups. Please keep the trails clean if your pup needs to drop a Number 2, trash cans are available near the athletic fields. Get out and enjoy all the great outdoor space has to offer.

    "The falling leaves drift by the window The autumn leaves of…read morered and gold I miss you most of all my darling When autumn leaves start to fall" (Nat "King" Cole) I found that trail that Kim V. found at the back end of a parking lot. Didn't see any markers or entrance signs there, besides one sign that was vandalized by spray paint, making whatever information was on it, illegible. The path was enveloped by falling and fallen leaves, so there was a blanket of yellows, golds, and browns everywhere. And it's a very low impact path- pretty much flat with a very small number of rocks and tree limbs to trip you up. On the path we saw a very cool site where it skirts a farm property -two small baling tractors tidying up the overgrown hayfield and making neat cylindrical bales of hay. Eventually, the path takes you to the Farmington River and if you follow the path and keep the river to your right you'll be rewarded with some very pretty scenery. Stay on the path and get to the very impressive Farmington High School Boathouse and boat launch. Toss in a few wood bridges, skeletal remains of old buildings, and a concrete staircase to nowhere, and you'll enjoy your visit as much as we did. Our walk to the boathouse and back ran around 6,000 steps.
