Confirmed from Clymer 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.

Sculpture displays and food-focused gardens are among the highlights of this serene park.

“very small but something around every turn I love it great quiet place for reflection in painting keep up the good work”

It was my first time stopping by here when we were in the area. This place has a variety of fruits and vegetables in the garden and made the walk in the park interesting and engaging Saw a bunch of malunggay, papaya, atis, and other fruits and vegetables

A Hidden Gem for Skating, bike riding & Peaceful Walks Clymer Park is an excellent spot for skateboarding. The sidewalks provide good surfaces for rolling, though it's helpful to bring a leaf blower or broom as shells from the nearby sculptures can accumulate on the paths - a quick sweep makes for a smooth ride.

Beautiful park in the city of Gulfport. Great place to stroll, walk your dog, hug a gorgeous oak tree, admire the newly planted fruit trees and see some interesting sculptures and art work. Today we came to Spring festival Garden Art and Faerie Festival. Met some fantastic people.

★★★★★ — Stephanie , Apr 2018

Nice area to walk around. Paved path, scenic landscaping, well lit and you also can the community habitat preservation and food gardens. Not really a park to take kids to play unless you just want open for grassy area.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
