Longmeadow
Fannie Stebbins
Wildlife Refuge
Date visited: 5/30/2020
This is a nice easy trail around the area around the train tracks in Longmeadow. It was a very warm day, so we were looking for something that wouldn't overly exert ourselves. Everything is so green over here.
Turner Park
Date visited: 3/29/2021
I never knew about this place, despite growing up in the area. The trails are tucked behind some athletic fields. We used the All-Trails app as a guide, but extended the walk around the pond. It wasn't a long walk, but it was a nice one.
Bliss Park & Laurel
Park
Date visited: 6/4/2021
These two parks are across the street from each other, so I grouped them together. Each park has a loop trail that is about a half a mile long. I was able to extend the walk to about two miles by walking on some of the side trails, as well as walking from one park to another. Bliss park has athletic fields, a playground, and a pool, as well as the trails. Laurel Park has a small pond and a stream. Neither park is out of the ordinary.
Bay Path University
Date visited: 2/4/2026
This is a small campus, about 46 acres, located in the heart of the Longmeadow Historic District. This is a private college, but the presence of poop bag dispensers seems to indicate it's okay to walk your dog here. Despite being a Tuesday afternoon in February, the campus seemed like a ghost town. We only encountered one other dog walker on our visit here. Our walk was about two miles and also included some of the historic district outside the campus. We were short on time, so it was nice that we got to fit in this adventure before it got dark.
