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 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!

Parking is not free - it's $8 for Mass. plates, I'm not sure how much for out of state if it's different. It's such a small spot that this price feels a little high. There are some Adirondack chairs overlooking the water and some picnic tables (although they were all full when I visited), as well as an area for fishers to stand shin deep in the water, and a small beach. The bathroom facilities are a little outdated but clean. This was a pleasant spot to spend some time, but what's making me take off some stars is the bizarrely small area that's buoy-ed off for swimming. I came since my research showed this was a good spot to swim in the area, but the space marked off for swimming is so shallow and tiny that it seems more geared towards children only? I'm certain if I had tried to swim that I would immediately have felt like it wasn't enough space and tried to swim beyond the buoys. While the sand was nicely raked and manicured, although full of small rocks, it as well as the wheelchair path were covered in goose/duck poop that spread into the water, making me think it was very unhygienic. I'll swim pretty much anywhere, but sadly these two elements made me uncomfortable with doing it here. This would be a nice spot for a picnic or just to get some toes in the sand and hang out in the sunshine, but can't say I'd recommend it for swimming, even though the water felt warm when I dipped my toes in. It'd be so much nicer if they stayed on top of the bird dropping situation.

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)...

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. THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT WAS MADE 1/2 MILE EAST OF HERE ON MARCH 16TH 1926 BY DR. ROBERT H. GODDARD

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.
