I've been here a few times, it's not a huge park at approximately 400 acres, but it is big enough,…read moreand absolutely beautiful at certain times in the spring with an abundance of azaleas and rhododendrons producing a plethora of spectacular blossoms. There are two popular running and hiking trails, Eames Pond via old Bringham Road (1.8 miles) and Davis Hill Field/Laurel Hill Loop (1.7 miles). We hiked most of these two on this visit. There are many other trails for hiking, walking and exploring including the Black Hill Road Trail, Azalea Path and Judy's Secret Garden Loop Trail. Many of these feature beautiful azaleas, rhododendrons and other flora to be admired in the Spring. Eames Pond offers nice views, from the bridge and some of the trails. There is also a lovely cascading stream, small waterfall, sawmill and other historic buildings. There are some picnic tables scattered about, I could argue Moore needs more of these! That said, Moore needs a lot more parking. The lot is small, and many people park alongside the road, making it difficult for two cars to pass. Overall, this is a very pleasant park to visit, and you can take dogs on a leash. Note that there is no swimming here.

Tip: Unfortunately, the trails are poorly marked and contain no signage with any kind of background information. Despite the down sides, we read about this park in a magazine, and enjoyed our first visit enough to come back some day.

The plants and flowers that are planted create a peaceful spot. I do like the stations throughout the Memorial that give QR codes to follow up and read about the Veterans. Well done. Thank you for the Memorial park and thank you to the Veterans I do wish there were bathrooms or porta potties. Especially with young ones on the playground

Discovered this park while staying at within Worcester. This park is absolutely beautiful and a…read moregreat place to walk and explore for either exercise or just for something to do. The nicest surprise was the mini petting zoo inside. There were ducks, pigs, sheep, goats, alpacas, donkeys, and peacocks. It was beautifully kept and you could tell all the animals were very well kept and taken care of. There are multiple locations within the park you can stop and park and walk around and explore. We made sure to check out all of the Vietnam memorials and covered most of the main trails. We did not have the right shoes on to explore the hiking trails which was such a shame because they had some beautiful views from what we could see. It is one way in and one way out which was nice to limit the traffic flow within the park!

Such a fun park and great for the whole family!

The splash pad is open 12n-7pm during the summer months. Found this on our commute home and stopped since I keep changes of clothes in the car for my munchkin and so glad we have a new place to have us some fun!

Nets and hoops…read more Goodale Park was established back in 1911 and back then it was only a open area suitable for a little stroll or perhaps a picnic. Like many old parks it has evolved and changed over the years. Now it's a huge sports complex complete with very nice baseball fields, running track, soccer and football fields, a pavilion for picnics and some superb tennis and basketball courts. The hoop and tennis courts were renovated a few years ago in honor of the park's centennial celebration and now are some of the finest courts in the area. Unfortunately this also means they courts can be extremely crowded at times and difficult to get playing time on. The park also has music at various times during the summer and benches to sit and watch the sporting activities. A very pleasant park with a whole lot to do.

Love this park... Went with the BFF this past weekend when in Marlboro…read more.. She had been talking about it & considering my son isnt LOVING water at this stage in life, I was apprehensive... But Im SOOOO Glad that we went... First off the parking is weird & far away, but at least glad there is ample parking... The park is enclosed & this is a HUGE plus coming from the mother of a very curious little boy who wants to run all around at times... I am not worried that he has wandered off (I dont usually let him out of my sight for 1 sec, but still the gate is good) The sand box might have been the biggest "OOHHH" moment for me, there must have been 754 Dump Trucks & other little sand things & I asked my gf rather excitedly "Do these come with the park", because as I had noted earlier my son tends to be very curious and will almost climb into or onto other peoples strollers/bikes, so these being the parks toys was super exciting, he could play & I wouldnt have to continually tell him NO & keep apologizing to other parents... The climby, slide thingy (what are those called anyway) was rather large & there were several things that could be climbed up & down & ran across with several slides on it... I even climbed up there... The sprinkler pad was not on when we went - they close at 4 on Saturdays (will keep in mind for next time) There are picnic tables & benches all around & there are basketball courts AND A PORT-A-POTTY!!! How cool is that, not that I would use it but the conveinence is still pretty cool! I will def be back soon (prolly this Sat)...

A lovely little park to appreciate some truly remarkable and under appreciated history in the area…read more Goddard was born and raised here in Ma, and paved the way for us to land on the moon (his science helped launch the famous Apollo flight, among many other accomplishments.) he created critical scientific developments during both world wars. He's worth googling in my humble opinion. There is a nice walking path and lovely views of the water with ducks and crickets. I took a star off because it's right on the main road so you hear the traffic and football practice at the high school across the street. Also to access, you pull into the fire station and park along the back row, or else park at the library and walk over along the sidewalk.

Some are big, some are small. But how many parks will you find behind a fire station, across the street from a shopping mall, with a full size replica of a rocket aimed at the sky? Goddard Memorial Park honors the memory of Dr. Robert H. Goddard, considered to be father of the liquid fueled rocket. He launched over 30 rockets between 1926 and 1941. The very first one was launched right here, from an Auburn, MA farm owned by his aunt, on March 16, 1926. The park and it's eye-catching centerpiece was dedicated by the Rotary Club of Auburn in 1970. A plaque near the rocket reads: DR. ROBERT H. GODDARD PARK FIRST LIQUID PROPELLANT ROCKET LAUNCHED IN AUBURN MASS. MAR. 16, 1926 BY R. H. GODDARD THIS PARK DEDICATED TO HIS MEMORY BY THE ROTARY CLUB OF AUBURN 1970 A nearby sign reads: THIS IS A TRUE SIZE DUPLICATE OF THE WORLD'S FIRST LIQUID FUEL ROCKET ENGINE.
