North Attleborough’s largest park offers a zoo, playgrounds, ball fields, gardens, picnic grounds, disc golf, and about 2 miles of trails. Starting from the parking lot in the back of the park, first follow the yellow blazed trail west towards the baseball fields. Follow the tree line to the last field. The yellow blazed trail enters the woods just behind the backstop. The yellow blazed trail then winds throughout the west end of the park and the abutting Harold Burns Memorial Wildlife Arboretum. The yellow trail soon comes to the road where you want to turn right. From here follow the walking lane along the road as it sweeps to the left. Soon you will see a sign on a tree indicating the beginning of the Balancing Rock Trail. Turn here and follow the trail to see some impressive boulders. At the end of the trail turn right and follow the white blazed trail. It leads down to the power lines and turns right before entering the woods once again. Next you will catch a glimpse of the disc golf before exiting onto a stone road along another set of power lines. Stay to the right here and follow the road to its end (crossing a street as well). The now stone and gravel road turns to dirt as it bends right and into the parking lot where your car is parked.
