Confirmed from Gardner 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 pond and paved walking trail, plus picnic facilities and a memorial.

“Nice quiet little park with a small area to walk through the woods and a pond with a paved walking trail around it.”
Very beautiful little park with ability to walk in the woods and visit the veterans memorial. We took some photos in the fall foliage and they are fantastic.
This is a nice, small city park. It is dedicated to military veterans and purple heart recipients. It gas a nice lake with a water fountain. Park benches, and they are pleasant to sit on. There us wild like, and a very nice smell. In the fall, it has thT nice fall smell.
First time at this park. Always trying to find different parks with paved walking trails, since my mother uses a walker. Giving this park a thumbs up. Loved seeing the memorial for the veterans. Will definitely come back for more enjoyable walks
Nice small park. Great place to walk my dog. The veterans memorial is a peaceful place I can reflect on my father, Korean War veteran . My boys like the small bike trails in the small wooded area.
