Faxon Park is more than 90 acres of hillside oak, pine and maple woods, Quincy's largest mostly-wooded park, with a network of paved and unpaved paths including a three-quarter-mile loop trail. Alongside the woods it has ball fields, a disc golf course, pickleball and basketball courts, and a playground, so it works equally well for a woods walk or a full afternoon of sports.
