Confirmed from Gezer 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.

“Great playground with a sand pit, swings, shaded tables and public restrooms.”

This park is a ton of fun! Spread out just enough with a great trail, lake and playground. There is an awesome rock river feature next to the playground with running water. It is small enough for kids to play in. There is a nice bathroom and great parking. Love the Israel theme!

The park was well maintained. The landscaping is beautiful. There is a playground with swings, walking trails, a small ankle deep creek, a lake, a shelter house, picnic tables next to the playground, and a public restroom.

Enjoyed my walk with my furry friend at this beautifully landscaped park. Lovely green shrubs and flowers adore this area with flowing stream throughout. Children's play area is perfect for tots to run around. 10.9.23 Absolutely enjoy this scenic park. Peaceful, vibrant and easily accessible for everyone.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

“I like that they have a small moat going around the entire park, small waterfalls, playground for kids.”
