Meghan Langley: Lovely well maintained preserve. Nice gift store and cool model of the preserve in the welcome center. Good educational signs. Also a very neat turtle named Clem.
Bradley Tatro: We had a few hours to occupy while our dog was having surgery at Tufts. We found this conversation & wildlife center and checked it out. This is a terrific place to take a walk in nature. There’s plenty of parking and there’s a visitor center. The trails are well maintained and the walking is pretty easy… no hills to speak of. They have trail maps and there’s maps posted along the way. We saw quite a few birds of different species. It was a very relaxing enjoyable time. Besides that it serves a great purpose.

Fran turcotte: Great place for a walk. We see deer, coyote and many species of birds and waterfowl. The only down side is all the trail markings. It’s very unsightly to look ahead of you and see up to 4 paint marks on the trees or rocks. The Lady Slipper trail has over 90 trail markings. But other than that I love the place.

Izzy Trinidad: Visited on WeekdayMore
Carmelo Montalvo: Me encantóVisited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No Price for adult entry Free …More
Stephen Murray: Fantastic trails. Great hiking. More clean up and maintenance could be done near the Granite Street entrance.
Timothy Hallihan: Very nice trail for a quiet walk. Lots of woods. Today it was a little wet from the recent rains. Also will need a little Spring clean up of fallen sticks and branches over the past winter.The history of the name of this place is also very interesting and brought a smile to my face 😀
Michael Giangrande: Sweet
BEAU LEBOUEF: This is the Harvey Ball Smiley Face Trail. This was land donated by the Ball family to the city of Worcester. This is a hiking trail that connects the trails at Broad Meadow Brook to the Blackstone bike path. The trails on the broad Meadow Brook side of Granite Street appear to be partially maintained by broad Meadow broad Meadow Brook. The portion on the other side of Granite Street heading down to the Blackstone Valley Bike Path are not as well maintained and are not marked well on any trail maps and that I can find. I have hiked the entire Trail. It's great that the city offers a nice place to hike. This Trail does connect to Broad Meadow Brook Conservation Area which is beautifully maintained and is a hidden Jewel in the city of Worcester.

Kettle Brook Conservation Area GWLT: what do users think?
Brianna A: Trails are a mess, shame that the Worcester academy has commandeered the entrance off Stafford street with a locked gate and fence, now have to park illegally on the street near Loft apartments just to get to this trail. Could use a lot of work and access updates.
alexjenkins92: Great trails, with two breached damns! It’s a beautiful escape from the hustle and bustle. It’s sad that their cleanup wasn’t finished as there are trash bags by one of the breached damns.
Paul Richardson: Trail system needs work.

God's Acre: what do users think?
Alemayehu Bekele: Wonderful!
lisa Dobson: Went through God's Acre looking for Deed rock. It's an historical green space in the city. Part of Worcester overlook trail. Turn up Midgley Av., park and start up is steep hill, at10.4 mark go left and follow the red/blue trail. Worth the hike. Would be great to have some historical signs on the trail.
D T: Can only speak to where I walked. Not even 1/4 mile in, this place is a dumping ground for trash people don't want to pay to have disposed.Turned around and went home disgusted.
Andres Acosta-Acevedo: Great place to see the city of Worcester
Felicia Hubacz: Nice quiet place in Worcester but is a dumping ground for trash. Even has cameras to deter the dumping. Other wise it would be a nice place to hike
Galen Oettel: offers a vast scenic vista across Worcester. To reach the overlook you’ll pass through a pretty corridor of paper birches and mountain laurel.
Lucy Keaveny: Awesome get away from the city. Will be back again. Back end of the trails could use more trail markers.
Christa: Beautiful, serene, and full of biting insects. Will review again in the Fall.
Ballpoint: Fun hike but not much to see
gordon larrivee: Nice walk in the woods
Nicole Beede: Literally took my up a dirt road that my car almost got stuck on and not entrance to be found 😭
Christopher Negron: Quiet and scenic trails. Make sure to check out deed rock and the hanging tree at the beginning of the trail.
Raquel Sunshine: God's acre!! I like that
Jennifer Racine: This land has a fascinating history, and the forest is quite peaceful. I highly recommend reading up on the area before a visit if local history interests you. It's also a great spot for Geocaching and letterboxing. The trails maintained by the Greater Worcester Land Trust lead to some pretty views, but it does get very buggy in the spring. The trail isn't very wide or smooth like a rail trail, and there are a couple of spots that pass over/through small brooks, so those of us with disabilities should take caution. Don't miss Deed Rock, just off the main trail.
Carrie Koivula: Nice view
Jayson Daughtry: Beautiful
Michael Dwomoh: Great views
Christopher Tatarczuk: You'll love this place, trust me!
Geoff Banyai: The last 1/2 mile of road was all ditches aND rocks.The GPS took us into the woods; no signs, no parking, no trails.The road dumped out into someone's house/yardWith all the beautiful places around, don't come here.
Norman Caissie: Great open space in Worcester
EllisD Bob (EllisD): Thanks for letting me know this place exists.

Elmer's Seat Pleasant Hill: what do users think?
Eric: Cole SwackhammerVisited on Weekday Wait time No wait …More
Tyler Trahan: A very small but enjoyable trail network on conservation land nestled between houses in a suburban neighborhood. The trails are well-marked (and there’s a map in the GWLT website) so pay attention to the blazes to avoid straying into anybody’s backyard.
Mike Melville: Please to do not come to Elmer's Seat to hike. This is not a hiking trail, it is a small wooded area in a neighborhood abutting many homes. Also, on street parking is not allowed on Pleasant Lane or Maple Way.
