Confirmed from Floyd Gwin 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.
This 52-acre park features sports fields & courts, a picnic pavilion, a playground & more.

“Clean, large, and pretty park, good for large gatherings with because they have shade awnings with grills.”
This is one of the best parks in terms of how much green grass and open area with trees. Great for taking your dog and letting them run loose for a bit. Tons of space for games with the family, the park is great they have two one of them focuses on the little kids and the other focuses on the 6 year old and up.
If you have kids, this a good place to take them, they can play and run without any problems. If you're looking to play basketball, the courts are not the best but there not bad, the people that play there are also nice and competitive, don't be afraid to join in a game
Lots of room for skating, running, walking your dog. Nice big playground and an open field for soccer or whatever you want to do. As well as some small pavilions to host birthday parties or whatever your choosing. Restrooms are also provided.
