Gilbert Park is a large area that offers lots of activities. The park is well shaded along its edges, with a central field surrounded by a walking path. Parking is available in a small parking lot and on 41st Street, as well as on the opposite side of Gilbert Avenue. There is an administrative building that has preschool classes. The center of the park hosts two small baseball fields,and a small soccer field. At the back of the park is a basketball hoop and a play area. The notable feature of the play area is a special slide that uses rollers to propel kids to wood chips below. For all those who love tennis, the four tennis courts are well maintained, and when you finish playing, you can buy a drink from a nearby vending machine. Often overlooked is a small table with a chess board near the parking lot.
