Confirmed from Gantz 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 a historical farmhouse, a renovated barn, an herb garden & an arboretum, plus sports.
What runners say about Gantz Park
“Beautiful playground, gorgeous walking paths, gardens, a creek, tons of parking, and tons of locations for the perfect pictures.”
“Love the added umbrellas for shade, and benches and pavilions for adults to keep a close eye!”
Great park! They recently updated the playground an has big kid area an little kid area lovely creek an small walking trail/bike trail. Nice little garden an herbs to walk through an admire as well. Neat little place!
Beautiful well kept park. The trails are clear and flat and I'm sure it will be great when they finish whatever project is going on. UPDATE- whatever they were doing as far as landscaping is done. I walk this park almost every day at lunch.
I went to walk the labyrinth. I walked the labyrinth and looked in other areas of the park. It backed up closer to the houses and I realized it would be. I've also discovered it's a lot bigger than I thought it would be. So I plan on going back and exploring some more.
Nice, quiet walking trail, shaded in many places. It had a nice garden with vegetables, herbs, and signs to identify and explain. There were many spots to just sit and listen to the creek gurgling. The children's playground looked great and there were lots of places to have a picnic
