Confirmed from Red Sunset 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.
Relaxed, well-loved city park featuring duck ponds, playgrounds, and basketball courts along with picnic facilities.

Beautiful place to spend time with family. There are ducks, geese and lots of squirrels! There is a soccer and basketball field. For those Pokémon go fans, there are gyms and pokestops for them to have fun. Quiet place to walk as well as to take many photos with friends and family.
Fun park. Clean seasonal restrooms. Picnic tables. Easy walking trail. Best part is the duck pond. Lots of ducks and geese.
Red Sunset Park is one of the nicest community parks in Gresham and a perfect spot for families. The playground is well-maintained, with plenty of equipment for kids of different ages — from swings and slides to climbing structures and a tot lot for little ones.
Great park. Huge park with great play area for kids. The only negative is it has been over-run with geese. I have never seen so many Canadian geese in my life!! So if you are looking to sew geese/ducks it's awesome but they can be a bit of a nuisance.
