This place is really beautiful. The tower is closed due to covid but I can’t wait until it’s open again. It’s a short hike up to the tower and board walk. There’s a children’s park at the base of the trail unfortunately some creep was there with a metal detector so we decided to skip that. Wonderful views at the top. A lot of Vermonters I knew hadn’t heard of it.

Lovely park for a walk with the dog. The tower at the top of the hill gives a view of all of Burlington and Lake Champlain. Unfortunately, it is closed right now due to the pandemic. But it’s still a great hike up the hill to it and you can still see pretty far from the base of it.There is a modern playground (also closed now) and many wonderful crevices and rock formations that would be great for kids to explore.

This park is definitely worth checking out if youre visiting Burlington, especially when the leaves are popping with color. We visited on October 17 and it was absolutely gorgeous. Wear sneakers with good grip or even hiking boots if you want to check out the tower. Its a very short but somewhat steep & rocky hike. The views at the top are not to be missed!

Great family park, beautiful place to spend the day. walk or bike in the trails, lots of open space and a playground got the kiddos. Not to mention the views at the top are amazing looking out at the Adirondack Mountains and Lake Champlain. Highly recommend a visit.

Very beautiful and peaceful. Nice trails to walk and bicycle. Panoramic view of the lake from the tower which is a short hike from the parking area. Playground at parking area, my grand children loved it.

Beautiful place to go for a walk. The view from the top of the Tower is amazing!

Ethen Allen Park hike is one of my favorite short hikes. It leads into the ethen Allen home stead trails that are quit spectacular in there own right. It continues to the interval and into the Burlington trail leading down town if you like. Fun for both kids with a play group or a walk with your dog.

Pretty area but the tower was closed. I hope they open it soon. Would love to go up it

Nice trails, easy to moderate hikes. Lovely views of Lake Champlain and Burlington.

It was a walk of choice, there was steep stone woodland walking trails, along with an easy trail walk with resting boards across the trails up to the tower. Which is super cool. Only had my phone for photos but it really was a breaktaking view from the top of the tower. My walk back seemed like an adventure having choices to take enchanting & inviting off the trail ways weaving around the woods. After reading the reviews I had imagined that the tower would have been a further hike in but I reached it in the first 15 min of a slow pace. A wheel chair couldnt get to the tower but there is a paved path, I would imagine you would need some good muscles to push. I would visit again with my kids I believe they would enjoy this enchanting park in the middle of the city. Which didnt seem to phase the parks serenity and quiet. Its a smoke free park and dogs must be on a leash.

Great walk in the woods in downtown. Gorgeous views this fall.

Its free and worth the little hike. Going to the top is cool, loads of pretty views in the fall with the foliage.

Nice walk with the dog across an open field then into the woods along the river. Several selections for trails. Not many people there which was nice especially on a bright sunny day though it was around zero degrees. I have to do more homework to know exactly who Ethan Allen was.

Good walk for kids...take them to the tower rich history.

Great park to have a wander. Keep your eyes out for Wildlife in the woods. We almost stepped on a Common Ribbon Snake! (Non Venomous!). Unfortunately the tower was closed but still great views.

Very peaceful. Excellent walking trails.

Lovely! Great place for a bike ride

Great Historical location...

What a neat place! The park was clean and well-maintained for the most part. The view from the top of the tower was incredible. If you only have one day in Burlington definitely add this to your list!

Great place to go for some easy hikes with views of Burlington

Nice and cool on a summer day

Nice little work for tge dogs or with the family

Great views of lake champlain and Burlington

Nice place to walk in the forest with your dog. The tower is nice to see, but nothing that impressive. Good place to go to have a beer in the evening

One sentence review: This place offers one of the best views for little effort you can get in Burlington.The tower at this park is amazing, you get a gorgeous 360 degree view of the lake, the Adirondack and Green Mountains, and the farmland that lies between them. Its easy to lose track of time while here. The last time I went I was also pleasantly surprised to find the park more expansive too and its just a joy to get out and walk around here. Free entertainment here cannot be beat.

Lovely little hike. On most days you can climb to the top of the tower and get an incredible view of the lake, mountains and burlington. The park is also the perfect place for a picnic. It is always super clean and well maintained.

Great place to go for a walk

Great place to ride or walk.

Decent park. I didnt get a lot of time here as I biked through it quickly but it was peaceful and the trails are kept up well. Its a nice park to go get some woods hiking so close to downtown Burlington.

Its a great view. Its got a park, a trail, a bike path, and a castle you can walk all the way to the top of. Its great for families and or yourself an definitely animals.

Love the old castle

The view from the top of Ethan Allen tower is spectacular. It is a great place for an easy hike with the kids up to the pinnacle. We used to love taking the kids and dog up there for a bagged lunch.

Finally got to go to the top of the tower! Great views of the city. Informative history markers in the tower.

The tower is absolutely gorgeous and the view from it is out of this world! Its open during the day and it closes that dark time. I love coming here to hike!

Fun little hike, has different routes to get to it so it can be a steep walk or more of a climb

I had a great experience when I visited. There were many well made paths as well as others that a little more off trail. Overall the park looks great aesthetically with many trees along with small buildings to visit throughout your time there.

Trails are great and the view from the tower is spectacular. I went a lot as a child but never remembered it being so beautiful.

Really nice

Awesome little uphill hike to a beautiful old tower well with an amazing view at the top.

The views are amazing

Great park with nice walking trails.

Lots of space to park, nicely kept playground and field, old castle tower that you can hike to and climb to the top and see a birds eye view of Burlington.

Breath taking view. Trail is not really mart to get to the tower so you must kind of find your way.

Cute park

Beautiful place, everyone should experience. Climbed to the tower and got some amazing pics. Then continued down the path which seems to never end. Great for hikers, bikers, walkers

Nice little hike and great view from tower !! Nice pictures from tower.

Cool, quick hike with a view!

Good 15-20 minute loop. Paved and very easy grades.

Nice walk

We love coming to this park with our kids. It’s walking distance from our house, plenty of parking, a nice playground, big field, and trails to walk and short hikes. Also the Ethan Allen Tower is always a hit to visit with the kids.

A hidden gem. Nothing fancy, just a nice walk and overlook.

Understand its a park absolutely nothing to do in the winter time unless you snowboard or stuff like that

Nice park. Play area for the children and nice walks

Nice tower

Great park and a great hike!

My kids always love coming here

A good place to see VT in Burlington

Love Ethan Allen Park! Such a great hidden gem of the New North End of Burlington. Great for a quick walk with great views, and it also connects to the Ethan Allen Homestead for a longer adventure.

Nice field but not the easiest to find

Just like Jurassic Park!

Scene is wonderful from the tower play ground is wonderful for the kids and nice large place to play frisbee

Awesome place for a walk or a bike ride. One of my my favorite places in town to enjoy nature.

Great park and awesome,hike,in the spring or summer time

My first park to know in USA it the Ethan Allen Park nice place for biking , good for the childrens, large space dog playgroundand we have a Ethan Allen town with the fabulous view

So neat!

Its a great place to bring children and its a little bit of a walk to the tower and a little more ways to the cliff side that looks over the Burlington area

Views from the top are worth the climb.

Ethan Allen Park has a bit of everything: history, nature, paved walking and biking trails, some mountain bike trails, cliffs for climbing, playgrounds for kids and of course, Ethan Allen Tower which offers great 360º views.While its a favorite place of mine to walk with my family, theres one thing worth noting for anyone with dogs and small kids: beware of tons of broken glass, especially on trails west of the tower.Are teenagers holding blass bottle breaking contests here every weekend? Is there a glass monster that roams the hills around the park, dropping shards with every step? Whatever it is, it sucks because its the only negative to an otherwise fantastic park.

Great hiking spot. Beautiful and well msintained.

Great place to walk alone or with doggie companions

Fun place to take a walk, bring your children or even picnic

This was an awesome place to take my kids. It is clean safe and quiet.

This is a great place to hike and also play,but the best thing is the tower

Awesome place

One of my favorite places

Great place to hike and learn about burlingtons history!

Good hilly walking path.

Great for kids, hiking, beautiful view

Barely hidden gem

It is just a park not the best place

Make the effort to reach the top of the tower and walk all the way to the pinnacle. Its not far and worth the view.
