I would describe all of the aforementioned routes as “heavy use” except for Franklin Park and Forest Hills. If you are concerned about it being overly busy, these routes would be busiest in the pre- and post-work times on weekdays and throughout the weekend. My son rides his bike all over, and he loves the Minuteman Trail at night (with lights) because it’s not busy at all. I wouldn’t be particularly concerned about safety in any of these areas in the daylight. At night I would avoid the Boston parks–for one thing they are closed.
