Confirmed from Gordon Harris 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.
Lots of open green space, plus a playground, picnic pavilion & ornamental pond, on 11 acres.
What runners say about Gordon Harris Park
“My pup loves walking and playing at this beautiful, lovely, and nice clean park 👌 😍”
“Beautiful quiet park with a playground, swing set, a covered picnic area and a very nice, almost a mile walking pathway.”
“Has a small playground for the kids and, a covered awning over some picnic tables just in case you bring lunch with you or need some shade.”
Fun park for an impromptu family detour to eat some ice cream. Only downside is the parking lot isn’t the easiest to find cutting through side streets in a neighborhood. NE side had a path with parking along the street if need be. Modest playground and lots of open grass for the kids and dog to run.

Great big open grasd fields for kite flying on a windy day. Dog friendly on lashes. Nice playground for kids, pavilion for parties, and walking path for lappers. Clean restrooms. Drinking fountains. Never crowded. Room enough to play baseball, soccer, football, lacrosse but no official game fields for that.
We love this park right behind mountain view high school. There's bathrooms and an enclosed picnic area. There's a walking path around the park with tons of grass for your kids or dogs to run around. The park itself is a nice little park too with a few swings and slides.
