Confirmed from Gilchrist Park or Gibbs Street 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.
Family-friendly green space with a play area that includes swings and slides.
What runners say about Gilchrist Park or Gibbs Street Park
It is a great park to take the kids to play and to sit and relax. We have also had lots of bday parties at this park at the huge gazebo. It has a basketball court and I track for walking or running it truly is a great place right in the neighborhood.
A hometown gem. Not well known, off the beaten path. Great place for large groups of kids to run loose and play. Walking track. Parking. An entire block without large structures makes for a safer environment for families. Not too far from downtown.
We took the kids on Easter and hid some eggs out there. The kids had a great time and we just love the play are. It's a very clean park and has a lot of space for the kids to run around and play. Will definitely go out there again with the kids.
