This is a wonderful island in the middle of an urban ocean. Very nicely maintained with hills fields and all kinds of good walking paths. Great place to walk the dogs. You could almost forget that youre in the middle of a major city.

My kids still love this little park. We have been coming here since they were toddlers. I have it 4 stars instead of 5 only because when the teenagers use it as a hangout Im ready to take my kids and leave. Most times this does not happen though. The park is at the top of a hill and there is usually a stiff breeze. I recommend you bring a sweatshirt or something long sleeved if you get chilly easily. That would include for your children too.

Nice park with lots of benches, shade, and a good playground for kids. Clean for the most part. Great place for families and has lots of fun events, though it may be a while until tlany future events are held here.

Gorges park is a nice calm, quiet park where you can sit and read. The grounds are maintained beautifully. There are plenty of benches. You can either sit in the sun or under the shade. Plenty of grass to throw a blanket down and plenty of room to throw a nerf football.

We actually were in back of Gorgas Park at the Roxborough High School athleticfield which we have kind of turned into a place where the dogs can run, because the City doesnt care

Good park to spend the time in the green areas. Quiet and not crowded.

For one reason that this park is five stars is that they have a Veterans Memorial there from all the people from the area that fought in wars and never came back. Plus its a large open space with a great place to bring your children to play at. Plus its big enough to bring your dog and play, its big enough that your dog will not bother the kids playing.

I share all the time about Gorgus Park .This has to be one of my go to places. It atmosphere is breathtaking infectious and just down right serene . They just had a beautiful ceremony for 9-11 and following that they had a concert by the Hooligans who have been there every year since 9-11-2001 . The community really comes together when in supporting 9-11,first responders, police officers, military personnel, local not and girl Scout troops, local athletic organisations, and many more. I cant say enough about the volunteers that make all this happen. Shout out to Join Boyce for a job well done .

What a great Green Space. Its Got Hills, its got benches, its got views, its got a playground for kids, if youre into kids, I dont mean it that way, you know, in a good way. Its right off of the very busy Ridge Avenue, but once youre a little back from the road it actually seems a little bit secluded. Just a great place to catch a break.

Its a good place for young kids to get out some energy

Its really a great, beautiful park. Its very well taken care of by the Friends group. Love the Friday farmers market and the rental pavilion (with bathrooms) for small parties. Kids love the playground. My one complaint isnt necessarily the homeless, but that the homeless smoke cigarettes there--near the playground. But what can you do about that?

A public park; not sure what to really say. It is usually clean and the local officials keep activities and entertainment scheduled their frequently. Occasionally you will see trash or ditched junk hidden amongst the brush, but its not terrible.

Beautiful place for a picnic. Dont great spaces to play with kids. I would not recommend it for running or for a pick-up hand it anything like that- the fields are not flat enough and it has people already there in nice days. That said, it is not too crowded to enjoy a picnic or anything that doesnt take a ton of space
