Confirmed from Garrett 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.

Quiet, family-friendly park featuring soccer and baseball fields, plus two basketball courts.

What runners say about Garrett Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (214 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 4 mentions

“Well maintained and ready for your enjoyment.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 6 mentions

“It’s tucked back on an easy but lesser used road, so it’s pretty calm and safe for families.”

Nice walking paths, 3 baseball/softball fields, and a soccer/football field. Also a play area for little kids and small military monuments/statues for all branches of the service. 2 full size basketball courts tucked away between the houses and the baseball fields.

★★★★☆ — Jgt , Feb 2017

Spacious to enjoy the outdoors, to play, walk, baseball events, photo markers with the statue decorations and Veterans memorial pathways to see whom you may know under the military branches they've served. I have family and friends listed.

★★★★★ — Colleen , Feb 2020

I've been going to this park since I was kid and it has changed a lot since then. My family and I take walks multiple times a week because of how peaceful it is. Great park for families.

★★★★★ — S , Aug 2022

This is such a fabulous park! There's so much to see and do! It's not just a playground! It's so much more! We spent hours walking around looking at everything! Great job guys!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
