Confirmed from Gateway 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.
Large park featuring a lake, baseball fields and a golf course, plus several playgrounds for children.

Beautiful, quiet, clean. Great walking trails around the park and lake
Well I can't necessarily rate it for kids because I'm at an age where I don't have small ones anymore but there seems to be at times a decent amount of kids that play on the playground there it seems to be in pretty good shape.
Beautiful park! Close to my house and has been like a well kept secret for years as I recently found it a few months ago. Very large with a nice lake or pond along with fun little playgrounds for children, a baseball field, picnic areas and even a golf course. Highly recommend for those who want to get out the house...
Beautiful Scenic Lake View with Lots of seating options ... Nice playground for kids, and a walking trail around the lake. Excellent place for Weddings ,Family Reunion and other events.
