Confirmed from Garfield Park Center'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.
Clean park for jogging and hiking as well as having picnic tables and a playground.
What runners say about Garfield Park Center
“Nature wise 10 out of 10 gorgeous landscape and for the most part it's clean you can tell it's been well kept over the years.”
“It's been through a lot of changes over the years but it's just as beautiful as it was 3 years ago the last time I came here with my family.”
It's been through a lot of changes over the years but it's just as beautiful as it was 3 years ago the last time I came here with my family. If you're looking for something family friendly I'd give it a 9 out of 10 it's a very fun trail but I can see how a child would get lost easily sort, of all the trails loopback…
Great place for walking and picnicking. The area is clean and manicured. The inside and outside staff are polite and courteous! There is however a need for the park police to be more visible! Some people allow their dogs to poop on the walk ways.
Cleveland Metroparks did a brilliant job here. It was so easy for my husband to scooter the accessible trails and enjoy getting deeper into the park. Best accessibility of the Metroparks.
Nice place to walk and see all what the metro Park offers ( playground, newly built place of water pond and building!!
