Confirmed from Galt Community 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 featuring tennis courts, baseball fields, playgrounds and walking trails.
What runners say about Galt Community Park
“Clean, shady and great places for the children to play.”
“Nice fields, lots of bleachers seating and nature trees for shade.”
Great sand park. Good for toddlers and school age. Small walking loop. Picnic tables. Bathrooms clean and working. Ice cream truck visits regularly in afternoons. As of 03/10/18, one of the play structures has been removed, because it was broken. The toddler one is still there. Hope they fix it soon. We love this park!
We live local and come here all the time, with a 2 year old and also a 6 year old it's a great place to let them run around and blow some energy off. There are 2 playgrounds- 0-4 and 5-10 which is great for a family.
I rarely get to Galt. I wouldn't mind living there since I have to live in California anyway. The park has a fair amount of shady spots to park your car in. Good if you want to take a quick snooze or just walk your dog there. There's also a playground for kids and some walking trails. I don't know how far they go.
Nice larger park with tennis courts, pickle ball courts, 2 beach volleyball courts, basketball court, baseball field, and two playgrounds, one for older kids and one for younger. Plenty of benches and tables and shade. Lots of walking paths and wild flowers. Good clean bathrooms. Oh, green grass everywhere.
