Today we’re sharing everything you need to know about Freestone Park in Gilbert for the ultimate park day.
Freestone Park truly has it all; a lake with pretty views including a wooden bridge, ducks to feed, three playgrounds, bathrooms, batting cages, a skateboard park, baseball fields, volleyball courts (that have just been redone), soccer fields, basketball courts, merry-go-round and last but certainly not least…. a train that loops around the entire park!
Truly something to do for all ages in your family. If you ever want to have an outdoor celebration or birthday party this is a perfect spot, just make sure to go online to reserve a ramada for your special occasion and festivities.

Freestone Park’s Train Rides
We rode the train last weekend and my kids had a BLAST.
The price to ride the train is $2.50 for each person (my one year old was free.) The train runs weekends only, with hours varying through the year.
Keep in mind that this part of the park is only open on weekends seasonally (completely closed June-August); Friday, Saturday and Sunday 10 am – 6 pm.
We went on Saturday afternoon and did quite a lot! We rode the train, walked around the lake, and let my two year old son enjoy a couple of the other fun rides (mini ferris wheel, wave runner and carousel).
buget hack: Get Out Pass holders get 4 FREE tickets for the train rides annually, just show the ticket counter your pass on your phone. [The Get Out Pass is an annual pass that you pay one price for complementary admission to 70+ local kid-friendly attractions. Use code XOXOEVM for the best price on the pass]
Mom Walk Meet Up at Freestone Park
If you are reading this and interested in coming to Freestone more often, I host weekly walks at this park!
This is a great chance to meet local moms! We walk every Saturday morning at 9:00 am and meet right next to the entrance of the train.
We do laps around the lake and push our strollers. We have also had moms bring their kids on scooters, bikes, or simply just walking! Join in, I promise you will enjoy yourself! You can find Let’s Strolls page also on Instagram @letsstroll_
