Confirmed from Gary Sherman 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.
Laid-back park featuring a playground, a covered picnicking area, and a walking trail, plus some slides.

Very nice park with one port a potty, a shelter without sides, great playground and lots of open space for dogs to run or to play frisbee, baseball, etc. I liked that the playground equipment was set on rubberized ground. My grandkids had to do much fun playing on that and playing dodgeball in the open space.
Great park. Situated behind police station. Its clean, quiet, nice paved walking trail around the parameter. Covered shelter with picnic tables, a charcoal grill & huge playground.
It's close to home so it's convenient. Lots of room to run my kids love the slides & bike/run path would be a great place to fly a kite but they need swings!!
Nice, about half mile track around the park. Plenty of space to sit in the shade and watch your kids play. Larger jungle gym with rubber mulch
