Confirmed from Garrison 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.
What runners say about Garrison Park
“They keep the park very clean and there is even a designated dog park for our furry family.”
“#swingset #playground #shaded #picnic.”
Lovely little park situated in Cottonwood AZ. Drive by often when going to work. The park is a wonderful place to sit whether on the provided benches or on a blanket on the lush grass. There is a kiddie area with swings, slides and jungle jim.
Very quiet and a perfect place for a picnic. They keep the park very clean and there is even a designated dog park for our furry family. The library is perfectly located within a 3 min walk so you could really make it a day outing with a visit to the library and a picnic lunch to read. Very lovely place!
Very fun park to walk my service dog during the day. Lots of room to walk & the workers came & cleaned up the park while we were there, a plus knowing that they keep it picked up. Swings & full jungle gym there too for the kiddos. Very nice!
The kids love this little park. It's off the main road, and has plenty of room to run around. Slides and swings and lots of climbing here
