Confirmed from Green Gables 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.
Local fields (used for baseball, football, and soccer practice) and a playground dot this leafy park.

“Playground is good for all ages, the little pond next to it is very peaceful.”
This park is right down the street from where we live. Been coming here for years. It is always kept up well, and the playground was totally redone a couple years ago. The new playground equipment is great. There's a nice trail around the pond and plenty of large old trees for shade.
Size-wise, it is a big park, with a baseball/ softball field/kids soccer and football lessons field; paved walking and bike path around the outskirts of park; ( perfect for dog-walking; off-street parking lot; walking trails in a [swampy] "animal sanctuary"area park( great location for bird-watching!
Nice smaller park with pond and nice walking path. There’s a small baseball diamond and a great playground. A good size parking area
