We have two identically named eBird hotspots here. One hotspot designates the parking lot for Giles Run Trailhead on Old Colchester Road, and the other designates the parking lot for the Meadowood Trailhead on Belmont Boulevard. The third hotspot "Mustang Trailhead" designates the parking lot on Harley Road. See the overall area map here.
