Confirmed from Gattman 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.
Popular park featuring a splash pad, a playground and picnic areas, plus a 9-hole disc golf course.
What runners say about Gattman Park
“The pavilions are well maintained on concrete slabs, mixed with river rock from the Tennessee River.”
“The trail is underneath the canopy of massive native trees.”
Great way to spend any part of your day. The grounds are well manicured and maintained! The walking trail is great for walking, running, or taking a bike ride. The trail is underneath the canopy of massive native trees. The disc golf course is great if you want to get in a quick nine holes.
Almost didn't want to review so less people would know about it.. but the place is awesome .. has a splash pad the my 3 yo loves and a playground.. beautiful place.. good part of the shoals .. only downside is that parents don't watch their kids as they should so they run around and someone could get hurt
