Confirmed from Ghiloni 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.
Public park with a playground, splash pad, soccer fields & interpretive woodland nature trails.
What runners say about Ghiloni Park
“Amazing park and Splash pad, open fields Basketball court and walk/biking trails, very clean restrooms and double sets of swings!”
“There's some shade for the park but no shade at all around the splash pad.”
This is a great park. There are quite a few grass fields to play with kids and dogs. There's a kids playground and a water splash area, which was not working on the day I stopped by. If you want to walk, there's a good long trail which goes around the whole park
No complains about this park. I go running here frequently since it is in walking distance from my apartment. Lots of room and parking. Always a good time here. Lots of dogs around.
Super cute and clean park. There’s a great playground with unique structures. One structure is geared toward younger kids and one towards older kids. There is also a small plans area. Perfect for cooking off on a hot day.
Great park, lots of paved paths through woods, nice playground for kids. Also a good place for dog walking. Recently put in a new splash pad and playground equipment. Also a new free range dog area but it's not open yet.
