Confirmed from Centennial Center 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.
11-acre city park with a kids' water playground, nature areas & an amphitheater.
What runners say about Centennial Center Park
“Grass is gorgeous, plants are thriving, and it’s just a clean environment!”
“The splash pad turns on at 9:45a, so you will want to arrive a little before then to get a spot in the shade.”
“Not only is it huge with equipment kids of all ages can play on and in, the unique Colorado specific attributes bring it to the next level!”
There are many reasons to visit this Park. The park has something for everyone, making it a great destination for a fun family outing. For kids, there is a playground with slides and swings. For adults, there are picnic areas and walking trails.
This is a well maintained park with plenty of activities for kids 3-12. They have multiple play structures, sand boxes, rope walks, and slides. It is best known for the splash pad. We arrived around 9a, and parents and kids were arriving in swim suits to set up blankets by 9:15a.
