Confirmed from Buffalo Bill Cody 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.
Public park with a baseball field, tennis courts, playground, picnic tables, and wooded trails.
What runners say about Buffalo Bill Cody Park
“Really shows Kansas off in a natural beautiful relaxing way.”
We didn't plan on going to this park, but we were super glad we stopped. 5+ swings, multiple slides, small creek down the hill, walking path around the playground & large pavilion that could be used for small birthdays/events. Would highly recommend for families with littles that love to play!
Had a blast here. Bathrooms were crazy dirty though. Full of bugs. I mean it's to be expected at a public park but it was kinda creepy. Toilets were gross. I wish people would take better care of public restrooms. The park itself though is super fun. Big parking lot.
Nice park with a large playground. And a nice area for picnics and birthday parties. It has a couple of racket ball courts and a very nice baseball field. There is a nice walking trail near the creek that runs the the entire park. I like to walk there. The track length is around a mile, It's posted on the path.
Walking trail that leads by a stream where my dog can get a drink of water. The pickle ball courts are newly renovated, and always being used when my dog Billy and I visit each weekend. The basketball courts, as well as the children's play area are always occupied when we come visit.
