  As other reviews have mentioned, the park is out of the way, but worth the trip to avoid crowds. As of July 2022, there is a porta-potty and trash can in the parking lot. The walk to the trails is through the picnic area. Given the prevalence of ticks in the area, I think the open space is better served for running with dogs or playing frisbee.
  
  The woodland trails are behind the grassy fields. The cliff trail is left, and meets up with the blue Metacomet trail. Elevation here is at 400 feet, so don't get too close to the edge. The yellow trail on the right was followed to the power line fields. Bird song was heard in the evening.
  
  Update November 2022: The poorly marked red trail was the subject of today's visit. The path was slippery due to the fallen leaves. No wildlife other squirrels and wild turkeys.

  Beautiful area, you really feel the serenity of it. Wish there was a stream but that's just nit picking. Great hike.

  Peaceful, relaxing, quiet, beautiful. This is a great hidden gem away from the overcrowded Penwood ( and Hublein Tower trail south of that) just to the south. Some of the trail sections are borderline overgrown due to lack of use, but the reward is you and your group will be the only people liking the trails pretty much any given time.
  
  I would say anybody over the age of six can manage the trails, the cliff trail is so named only because it takes you to a beautiful ledge where it meets up with metacomet.
  
  I probably walked through 15 or 20 spider webs on the way up, which tells me the cliff trail does not get much use, this was on a Sunday just before noon. There were no evidence of footsteps or prints on the trail, so while you will occasionally hear a jet overhead on the approach to Bradley, you probably won't hear or see anyone else until you reach the Metacomet.
  
  There is a beautiful wide meadow just about the parking area that's perfect for a picnic, or even to toss a frisbee, football, or baseball around. Hard to believe such a quiet and beautiful place is so near civilization.
  
  Highly recommended!!

  Love this park. Have never seen anyone else here so it's nice and quiet. However, last visit there was evidence of a group of people at least in the parking lot. (Water bottles and trash left behind with USA necklaces) Porta potty in parking lot. Seems to be mowed regularly. Noticed a picnic bench but nothing else really added to the natural landscape. There is also wild raspberry/BlackBerry bushes and grape vines.

  Quiet little spot tucked away in Bloomfield. Quick trail to Talcott Mountain range and views of Avon beyond. Great little meadow for picnics and sunbathing among the trees. Adequate parking and clean new porta-potty with changing table for little ones.
