Confirmed from Cheney Griffin Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park with a playground, picnic tables, and gazebos plus a boat ramp and river views.

I really enjoyed my visit fishing. The park is dog friendly with plenty of room for parking. I would highly recommend for the whole family to fish, walk, feed the animals, or just lay out on the beach area by the water.
Nice rual park to hike and walk exploring nature. Used the stop as a stretching spot hoping to see gators, didn't see any but saw evidence of them, but it was a hot mid day afternoon.
The city of Bainbridge is doing extensive upgrades here and this place is absolutely beautiful. Great job landscapers. The landscape architect should get a raise. No I don't know who that person is, but I was passing through on my way to St. George Island and had to stop when I saw how pretty this spot was.
This place is amazing it has a lot of historical background and they keep it very clean it's a nice part for them to walk your animals or a family to go down and eat your dinner or lunch and lot of people go fishing down there but they both died out in the docks so it's a great place to visit
