Confirmed from Big Sky Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about Big Sky Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (126 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“Very clean and well kept park also really enjoyed all the swings and fun things to play on and lots of open grass to run.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“There's free parking, swings, fossil discovering, zip line, swings, a few other toys for kids (or if your someone like me- adults too) and beautiful views.”

We have been hiking to different parks In tehaleh homes near bonney lake wa. Today we walked to big sky park and did some ziplining mostly for kids but if you're 250lbs or less you're good, and they have a dinosaur dig sight for kids and picnic tables. The bathrooms are not open to the public just to the residents.

Brought my husband and almost 2 year old here for the first time and we had an absolute blast!! I'm 9 months pregnant and it was even a lot of fun for me (: I tried the zipline with the help of my husband. Can't wait to come back after our other son comes to the world and see all three of my boys play.

★★★★★ — Kirsten , Oct 2019

Nice big park with lots of grass to run around and some playground equipment spread out to the park. Has a shelter and nice trees. Could use a bigger playground.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
