Confirmed from Eleanor B Garfield 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 multiple athletic fields and courts, as well as a playground, picnic pavilion, and restroom.
What runners say about Eleanor B Garfield Park
“Restrooms are clean and kids love the little waterfall”
“Beautiful, & peaceful, nice spot to stop and have lunch under the Pavillion, play sports, explore the woods.”
Pretty nice park with a good-sized pavilion for parties and get togethers. The geese are a nuisance if you walk around the pond. Just watch your step.
Went for a cross country race. Parking and driving through is a nightmare! Overall though a great park to enjoy the outdoors and a leisurely walk or run!
Nice and quiet in the winter during the week. Lot of area to walk your pet. Lot of geese however and everything that goes with them.
