Confirmed from Gleason 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.

“Nice, quiet, clean park that offers a paved walking trail around the lake with fountains & gazzebos.”
“One of my favorite parks beachside, there is so much to do and see for people of all ages.”
A very nice park with many useful parts This is a 27-acre park with a recreation center, outdoor pool & 2 playgrounds, plus a lakeside trail. It is located to the south and west of the South Patrick Drive and Yacht Club Blvd intersection.
One of my favorite parks beachside, there is so much to do and see for people of all ages. The central lake has amazing biodiversity including fish, turtles, and seasonal birds. The walking path is flat and smooth in most places. There is a fun playground.
It's a nice little area for a walk or a picnic. I've done homework here a couple times, so it's peaceful enough to focus. Also the gopher tortoise's think of the wildflowers of a delicacy, they just can't reach them all the time.
Great little park with something for everyone including paths, workout circuits, and playgrounds. There are tons of turtles and fishes to watch in the pond, and gopher tortoises crawling throughout the grounds, but please don’t touch or disturb. Jun 2022
