Gorgas Park

Beautiful, lushgreen park situated right on Ridge Ave between Hermitage & Fountain Sts. A playground designed specifically for the little one with plenty of swings & slides. Trees that provide plenty of shade & enough open space for a nice picnic or something like that.
The only drawback; the matted ground in the play area it a little worn but it still has its original buoyancy for safety. The Jungle Gym w/ metal slides at both ends is a bit dated & has an opening at the end that could present a challenge of falling off or out for the very young that are easily distracted. This is why I suggest if you have kids 3 & younger to be right there with them.
Overall it's a great place to take the kids, the pets or just yourself.

Lovely little park. Cool war memorial. Great play park for kids (swings and whatnot). Beautiful trees that are marked. They have a weekly Farmers Market and summer concerts. I usually walk by on my lunch break.

Great park. I was here for "Parks On Tap" the guys that keep an eye on the park was great. My wife, my 2 dogs and myself made a few new friends with some local dog owners. Great place to hang out with the kids and dogs. My family has marked park a winner and we will be back.

Gorgas is one of the better parks in the neighborgood. Friends of Gorgas Park and neighborhood volunteers do a wonderful job maintaining the park. The play area and play structures could be better considering the overall size of the Park.

We love this park, its a nice sized park with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the scenery. The old trees give a lot of character to this beautiful park. There is usually plenty of parking available ,if you check the schedule you'll be lucky to enjoy a nice concert on a Thursday or Saturday. Come and enjoy this park, bring your family, you wont be disappointed.

It’s April and the cherry and crabapple blossoms are out. It looks a little non maintained right now but was a ok walk around park with playground and some dogs playing. War veteran memorial and baseball Diamond. Not very wheelchair handicapped Accessible but has a sidewalk in a horseshoe shape.

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 can't say enough about the volunteers that make all this happen. Shout out to Join Boyce for a job well done .
