Confirmed from Jackie 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.

What runners say about Jackie Gleason Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (291 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 13 mentions

“My daughter loves this park it's very clean and has different sections for the kids to enjoy plus it also has a basketball court where the adults and bigger kids can play.”

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“There's a nice basketball court there too, plus nice shaded area to run around.”

This is a great park. I used to bring my children here who are now 26 years old. Today, I get to bring my nephews here along with my grandson to enjoy the sane memories. The park has since been upgraded and has a fabulous splash pad to keep the kids ni e and cool.

★★★★★ — Shana , May 2023

Very nice equipment, but the playground equipment itself is probably age appropriate up to age 3 or 4. Older kids will want more. There's a nice basketball court there too, plus nice shaded area to run around.

★★★★★ — Jason , Apr 2019

I take my morning walks at this park, it is always so clean and well maintained. In addition its right across the street from my office which is a plus for me :)

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

“My son had a good time, we didn't get to stay long because of the rain, but everything was clean including the bathrooms.”
