Confirmed from Jacqueline B. Gorell 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 Jacqueline B. Gorell Park
It's a small trail between Golf Rd. & Chruch St. Along the path are 2 picnic areas, Porta potties & a parking lot. The picnic areas between McCormik & Church is well shaded & with many tables.
Cute little park with 5 picnic tables right off the McCormick bike path at McCormick and church..you can see both streets from where you sit, but there are quite a few trees to shade you and keep you cozy. Tables are covered in lichen and are level. Perfect for a picnic or games.
This park is part of a long bike and walking trail. The whole trail goes from Lawrence avenue to Green Bay Road in Evanston
