Walked black trail. Nice, easy loop with a story spread out over the trail. Will go back and try the other trails.

Nice park with some playground equipment, basketball and tennis courts, a little skateboarding area, and trails through the woods. It seemed great, but the trails were too rough for our stroller so we couldnt explore much of the trails, which is why we went.

Very nice hiking trails unfortunately the drought has caused all the small waterways to dry up so I missed that but it was a nice hike

This park is quite large for the town and provides a good hike all times of year. Mostly forested with interesting rock formations and hills. People walk and bike here. Low to medium challenge hike, very convenient.

Great spot to hike or run. So much to see if you can get the most out of all the trails. Theres a ton of rocks and steep hills to climb, but also relatively flat trails.

Beautiful park, tennis courts, basketball courts, small skatepark, and well maintained network of trails leading out of the back of the park. Dogs allowed, strollers tough but manageable.

Nice party favors.I invited a pretty girl to my house for dinner. Afterwards, she requested for her to stay for breakfast also. So we ended up with both of us having breakfast in bed. And the food wasnt too bad either.

I spent most of my young years exploring in this park, looking for caves ponds and anything else I could find. Anyone going for a walk needs to check out the waterfall.I love the way the community has gotten together and cleaned up the trails and other areas. The trails are well marked and mapped out. Much more family oriented than when I was growing up.The only improvement I would love to see is more police presence. At night the parties begin and all the trash is left behind. The volunteers can only do so much and kicking the vagrants and partiers out of the park is not in the job description. Maybe a couple patrols in the evening by local PD would limit this from happening.

Today, had a new childrens book, attached to trees, to lead your mind, while walking

This place is a beautiful refuge from everyday city life. The trails are great if youre prepared for the weather or bugs. My least favorite time to go is mud season, but it would be fine if I remembered to wear boots. The trails are relatively easy to follow. The trail network feels big but I always manage to find my way back to the car even if I go a route I havent followed before. Friends of Clifford park put on some good programs and do good work there.

A great hike and introduction to beginner hikers. A little bit of heaven in the city. The red trail was beautiful and so peaceful. I will definitely be returning.

The skate park there is terrible its just a mini pipe and nothing else and it was poorly built. Better off going over to rotary park.

Review №22

We enjoyed hiking the loop out around this park. There were wide easy to navigate trails. Adjacent to downtown Biddeford. Lots to see— old quarries, an ancient family plot, and even some wildlife. We saw a bright red male cardinal and a long, reddish brown snake crossing the trail. A great day in the woods.

Beautiful little bit of woods, has a waterfall, some boulders and about a 40 to 45ft cliff. Nicely marked trails, has a pond in there in a different location of the waterfall. Overall very nice bit of nature. Been going there for about seven years now!

I grew up on these trails, and if its nature and some fun train to walk or mountain bike, this is a great place! You can find the mud or avoid it... Walk along, through, or over a stream and even find a waterfall. Great place 2 burn some energy and time!

Review №54

Trails very poorly marked.. Got lost several times on difficult trail, ended up having to turn around when the marker lead me to a dead end.. The general/easy trail has so much wasted potential... If only they would either pave it or make it a gravel path, people would visit more.

The park as seen from the front has a playground for children, as well as a full basketball and tennis court. Behind this park are miles of woods to be explored with many sites to see within. Such sites include a waterfall, a huge sliding rock, a frog pond and so much more!

This park needs a tune-up its very old and needs updating. The woods are fun though and if your a local , you can easily find your way to the waterfall. Ive walked miles of these woods, you would be surprised what you find and where you exit.

Good hiking, dog walking, snow shoeing. Please bring a bag to pack out any trash you see. To get to the Falls take the black, from the kiosk, around to the left to the red (to orient you: the falls are located roughly alongside Parkside Drive). Map is on Maine Trail Finder. Please like Friends of Clifford Park for updates.

True Urban wilderness. Clifford is miles and miles of blazed trails of varying difficulty, right in the middle of Biddeford. Hike, bike, run, a real treasure.
