    Freestone Park in Gilbert, Arizona, is beautifully maintained, featuring serene ponds, lush green spaces, and diverse amenities. With playgrounds, trails, and sports facilities, it's a perfect spot for all ages! You may find me here capturing a sunset. Saluti

    Yellow slide playground, the ladder of death.
    Kyle H.

    This park is pretty nice. There is effectively 3 playgrounds - orange, blue, and yellow. I have two kids - 3yo and 5yo - and like to rank playgrounds on how friendly they are for these ages. The yellow. This is my least favorite playground of the 3. It has 2 levels and 6 slides. Sounds great... Until you realize that 5 of the slides are only accessible by one ladder, and it isn't even an easy ladder, my 5yo is about the limit. A creative or tall 4yo might be able to get to the upper deck but that is it. The ladder is basically too tall for parents to fully help their kids too. One of the upper deck slides has some twists and I've seen a few kids bounce their way down and almost get tossed off half way. It is basically safer for the kids to climb up the spiral slide, and it is the only way my 3yo can get to the upper deck. Terrible design and as a parent it strikes fear in me. Orange. This one is a mix. The young kids can do half of the playground while the second half is kinda parkour-ish. The best playground is the blue slide, the one by the bathrooms and centrally located. Most parts are easy enough for both ages, or at least you can assist smaller children without heart attacks.

    Friendly park. Kids love this playful park, with kids play area, pond and rail way. Great place to have picnic, have a walk and take a little ride.

    One of our friends planned for a play date at this park. The park is huge and there are so many things to do. There is a nice water body going around the park with ducks, waterfall, bridge. Also some rides for kids like train, carousel, mini ferry wheel and couple other rides. You could buy tickets at the counter. You could either buy unlimited rides or buy per ride. There are many play areas, soccer field, picnic spot, Ramada's. A great location for getting some photos clicked too. Overall a great location for different activities, we enjoyed the train ride and had a fun evening.

    Fantastic park. Two playgrounds - one geared towards much younger children and one made for kids who are a little older. There's also a mini-amusement park there and beautiful waterfalls. Great for your kids or nephews and nieces. Our niece loved the train ride and the older kids' play area. We also got some birdseed for a quarter and fed some ducks and grackles. There are several ball fields, public bathrooms, batting cages, and a skate park. Plenty of Ingress portals if you play the game as we do. All around the park, there are open grassy areas and even a soccer field way down the hill - although we were visiting on a rainy day and it looked more like a lake. Terrific place for a play day, picnic lunch, or to take photos in a very scenic setting. Worth the drive over from Mesa for us.

    We got to ride the train and go around the park, it was a lot of fun. The park was so beautiful. They have water and waterfalls and ducks and birds enjoying the beautiful scent with us. They had a little machine for 25 cents to buy some bird food. So we did. It was fun feeding g the birds. They we went to play on the playground. It was a pretty day to be outside. The grounds were really clean and there was seating. Picnic tables and shade for everyone. I will come back for another picnic day out again really soon. It was great seeing so many families outside again.

    We rented a ramada for two hours to have breakfast. I really live this park .I wish we lived closer so we could ride the train when it opens. It was such a nice day everybody walking around , people fishing. The ramada was clean. There was a bbq, we didn't use it. There was a trash can near by. The ramada was Judy's north point. For anybody looking for it , if you're in the parking lot looking at the carousel with a lake behind it, walk left around the lake. Judy's point north and south are both on the left side of that lake if you're looking at the carousel with the lake behind the carousel. For a future person looking at Judy's South pointe it's not shaded but there is a tree there so we were there between nine and 11 and it was shaded from that tree don't know if anyone needs to hear that hope they help somebody. If we ever need a park party again we will definitely go to Freestone it was also very convenient to pay for the reservation online

    This is a really nice park with most everything including baseball, soccer fields, duck lagoons, gorgeous hummingbirds(one of my favorite animals) and even an archery range. It's a large park that looks well maintained. It's named after Maricopa County Supervisor Thomas Freestone. It may be the best park in Gilbert but I haven't checked them all yet. Highly recommended.

    Nothing was open but we really only went to fly my new drone around and my so my daughter could drive her remote control car around. There weren't too many people there but it is New Year's Day and it was chilly out. The park is nice. They have a lot of different things there to do, a skate park, baseball fields, playgrounds, etc. It's a nice little place and very clean.

    Awesome Park For The Family! Duck Ponds, Multiple Playgrounds, A Small Carnival With Rides... This is definitely one of the nicest parks around and is great to grab some birdseed and watch the kids play with all the wildlife coming for the feast. I am really happy this park exists, it is a gem to the community! There are different playgrounds here for different age groups which is really nice. The duck ponds are a great draw, not always looking very clean, maybe some algae eating fish could help? There is a nice water feature with a little cascading stream feature pouring down into the main pond from the llittle hill. Little train for kids to have rides around the park. Soccer Fields for those seeking that as well. Tennis Courts for those wanting some Tennis Action! Little Carnival: We haven't tried the train ride or the little carnival but it looks like the only run down portion of the park. I tend to steer clear of the little rides because I am a bigger human and don't fit anyway... lol.. The park is a great place to ride bikes to and spend some time. Very well maintained except where city employees drive over the grass in trucks and rut it up after rains... Nice sidewalks and amenities! PS: Some people have made reviews slamming this park because of some of the people visiting at the time of their visit, but that happens everywhere. Kids have accidental pee accidents, sometimes the rough crowds visit the nice part of town... This shouldn't be held against such a nice park.

    I haven't been here for years and I was surprised to see how run down everything is. The train and the rides need some major attention, and in my opinion are not worth the money. The new playground area was really cool. It seemed much of the park and the lake area are under construction so it will be interesting to see what the overall plan is and what changes. We enjoyed watching the ducks and liked the new playground. But didn't like all the dead grass (sure wish Arizona believed in keeping grass up in the winter) and was disappointed in how run down everything else is.

    Gilbert Regional Park is near my house and it's a great spot to workout, play, or relax…read more It features many sport courts- pickleball, tennis, volleyball and basketball. While there's a lot of pickleball courts, I've seen them full with a queue to play. I haven't seen this with the tennis courts or other sport courts. There's a playground with a play structure, swings, slides, a zip-line and more. It's on a hill so there's multiple levels to play on. There's a large splash pad for older children and a separate area for younger children, so less likely your toddler gets run over by a pre-teen not paying attention. The one drawback is there's not a lot of shady places to hide from the blistering summer sun. There's a large grass field but it's sloped and thus not useful for playing flag football or soccer. I believe it's built that way to watch performances at the pavilion. If there are flat grass fields at this park, I have yet to find them; they would be a welcome addition. At the end of the park there's a lake with a walking path around it. The largest ramada is on the lakefront and looks to 100-150 people. They have smaller ramadas around to rent as well. Overall, Gilbert Regional Park is a nice clean new park with many amenities. Everything is still in good working condition and there's a lot of open space where everyone isn't concentrated into a small area.

    Very clean and so much fun!!…read more There's a toddler area and a big kid jungle gym. Also a fantastic splash pad that is fenced in. It gets really busy though. Go early in the morning to beat the crowds (I think we were there by 9, it got busy by 10).

    This might be a great park for some people. I'm not trying to yuck your yum!…read moreI went for a kid's birthday party at Ramada 2 on a Saturday at noon. 1.) The shade was an issue. There just isn't a lot of shade. The tables weren't shaded (because of the whole earth tilting and spinning,) except for the people sitting on one side of one of the tables and the sun still hit 80% (chest down) of each person. About 3/4 of the playground equipment was in the shade from one direction but the surface area of the shade structures could have easily been big enough to provide better coverage. 2.) The playground equipment is unusual. Before you go check the photos to see if it's something your kids would like. My 5 year old doesn't rock climb or do jumping from giant high thing to high thing. There was a ton of dog poop in random places including in the wood chips. That's not the park's fault, I get that. Still worth mentioning- maybe the park could have someone come by once a day and check for that? Seemed like the human sized poop in the wood chips next to the water fountains had been there at least a full day. Lastly I think it's worth mentioning that the giant lake does not have any safety guards around it. We really careful with your little ones. The water is super disgusting but there are little fish and if you watch closely little baby turtles that come to the surface for air. Super fun to watch but it would not be good if your little one fell in.

    I am 9 and I couldn't reach anything so I suggest they make things a little lower I could only…read morereach 1 or 2 of the ninja course things that you had to reach too I could do everything else
