Living in Gilbert has a Few Perks & Freestone is near the top for sure! If you need to get a run in, need to relax and feed the ducks, or just need a place to take the kids to release some energy this is a FANTASTIC place to go!
The fact that they have Volleyball Courts, Batting Cages, Basket Ball Courts & Baseball Fields.... Makes this a VERY easy 5! -

This is one of the best places to do parkour. I recommend this place for its various obstacles. This is a challenging place to work out.
For families this is also a good park. The kids train and amusement park rides are neat and cost a small fee. You frequently see professional photos being taken here. Good for sports activities. They even have a skate park and a large round area for meetings, like an old outdoor theatre set up. However, I've never seen it used there. I've only seen it used for award ceremonies.
Overall, this is a very multipurpose park. -

FAVORITE PARK YET! You just have to be happy when you are in Freestone park... at the entrance there is a mini CARNIVAL with the cute ferris wheel, merry-go-round and kiddie train w/ railroad track that loops the entire park ! Make sure to watch the sunset on top of one of the formidable hills ... the carnival area lights up at night, which is really quite precious.
Its a huge park and happens to be celebration central... at least two quinceaneras and one wedding party there on a Friday afternoon. Really lovely.
Great place for a picnic and ICE BLOCKING, which is still just as fun as when you were a kid! This park actually has hills tall enough for decent ice blocking :)
*Don't forget to pack some bread to feed the smelly ducks in the lake* -

Freestone park weather is almost here!
Pry their cold dead hands off that video game console and get them outside for some fun!
From the train, to the ducks, fishing, the clean picnic area's or the batting cages and carousal there is something to do.
Been here with my family and nieces and just in general while going to gilbert schools, always a nice experience !
The nice weather is almost here! -

This is a great park. It has a lot of room and a lot of open grass areas. If you are looking for a place to use your Summer Sled or go Ice Blocking, this is the place. The hills a steep and long. They also have several playgrounds and a train that goes around Freestone for the kids. On the East side of the park they have some softball fields, batting cages, and a skatepark. Everyone can have a good time.

Freestone Park is a must-visit if you live in or near, or are visiting Gilbert. The 100-acre grounds are beautiful, featuring a man-made lake and waterfall. An 1880's replica miniature railroad takes a quarter-mile loop around the lake, affording a views of ducks and geese. Bring some bread if you dare (the ducks can be quite aggressive!).
There are numerous picnic armadas, several separate playground areas -- so if one play area is being dominated by a snot-nosed bully, you can always move to a safer one.
There are also basketball courts, sand volleyball pits, batting cages and a driving range, and a 22,000 square feet skate park.
But wait! That's not all! There's also an antique carousel, mini-ferris wheel, and a tot-sized "wave runner." Although there is a fee for the train, batting cages, golf & the rides, it is on par or below what other equivalent amusements usually cost.
Finally Freestone Park is an excellent place to slide down grassy hills on an ice block. Of course, that activity isn't officially sanctioned, so try-at-your-own risk :)Listed in: Kids Stuff, My Neighborhood

I ride my bike through here most mornings listening to the hum of the power lines. This park has just about everything too. The batting cages are always fun.

AH-MAZ-ING.
I love this park. Too bad we met for the first time during my final week living in Phoenix. Otherwise, this park would have become a regular staple in my active life. Walking...running...basketball...tennis... They even have baseball cages and a skate park! Now, I probably wouldn't have done either of those, for fear of offing myself. But, hey, I love to watch and having both around brings a very cool vibe, you know?
The walking/running sidewalk meanders around nice, calming waters.
There's even some electrical outlets near the picnic/play area. So you can fire up the ol' laptop while you watch the kiddies play and chase each other around. So awesome.
If I ever were to buy a home in the Phoenix area, this is the first place I'd consider - near this park, which is quite big for parks in Phoenix and, as mentioned before, offers an array of very fun things to do. Heck, there's even a path to ride horses on!

This park is amazing! I just recently moved from Mesa to Gilbert and boy...what a breath of fresh air to see the town put so much time into community.
I was recently studying for a big test for work and I would come to this park during the daytime to sit outside and read. They have picnic benches all over the place and while school is in session, it was pretty quick on a weekday afternoon. Plus, its absolutely gorgous. Seems like it would be a great place for a family-oriented afternoon. -

This place is big! Has lots to do for the little one's. My little one loves the train and carousel. My hubby loves the batting cages! There's something for everyone here.
