Confirmed from Garfield 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.
32-acre park with picnic shelters & tennis/volleyball courts, plus baseball diamonds & a playground.
What runners say about Garfield Park
Love this place! It's a cute little park that connects Garfield Elementary to Eastern Avenue Park. I run with my dog through here and sometimes we'll stop and watch the kids play baseball. I think my dog wants to be a part of the team 😂 Anyway, great park.
My experience at Garfield Park started 52 yrs ago. It is still a great place for kids to play ball as it was 52 yrs ago as I watched my oldest brother play pony league. So nice it is on the bike trail so kids or adults can enjoy and get exercise.
While an older park, it does have good appeal. A couple of shelter, restrooms, plenty of parking, several ball fields, tennis, sand volleyball, a playground and access to the bike path. Winner, winner!
They put in a new bench and a couple more places to sit. Great place to stop and take a break from the bike trail.

- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
