Confirmed from Gator Run 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.
Grassy space boasting picnic tables and benches dotted by large trees as well as a playground.

For lovers of the outdoors, Gator Run Park is a nice, clean and safe space with walkways, parking, grass, a playground, large trees to spend a relaxing afternoon, have a picnic or just read...
Weston has invested in very nice sidewalks along its major roads, but they failed to put in any benches so you could sit and take a short rest. Gator run Park has benches set out within 5 or 10 minutes walk of each other and it's got nice shade and it was a pleasant walk.
