Confirmed from Garfield Park Red Oak Shelter'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.
Sprawling park boasting a pavilion where events can be held, outdoor games and playgrounds.
What runners say about Garfield Park Red Oak Shelter
“Great space, clean, and amenities for the kids (playground).”
“We had our family reunion here and we had so much fun it was beautiful Park really loved it”
Very beautiful area with a pavilion and playground. We only took the trails by here in the park the day we went. They were all paved or gravel and very pretty. We parked here and walked to Wolf Creek Falls. Very easy walk. The map says there is a trail that goes to Mill Creek Run Falls as well.
My family had the family reunions there and it was awesome we were able to cook Grill play games in the field have enough seating under a shade in case it rained awesome
Amazing walking park and beautiful views of pond and scenery. I really enjoy coming here!!!
Nice place for exercising, love the trails and nice playground for the kids
