Confirmed from Butte 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.
Park featuring a playground and a spray park, as well as a dog park.
What runners say about Butte Park
“Get to the very top and find a cross as well as a great view of the land scape”
“The splash pad is fun for all ages, just a bit muddy.”
Not much else to do around the area but this was a pleasant surprise. The views were great and the hike to the top was nice. It wasn't too strenuous and it didn't take long at all. I wish there was an open path to the park right next to it. It looks like there used to be but we couldn't get through the fence.
Its a great place to go on a family hike.. Get to the very top and find a cross as well as a great view of the land scape
Great dog park, nice little hike to the top of the butte for 360 degree views of the city, and a nice playground.
Really nice park. Well kept. Lots of open space and a playground with a fountain area that makes me wish I was a kid again. Walking trails up the big hill. The dog park is cut into two sections. One really big area and one little-too-small area.
