Confirmed from City of Cuernavaca 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.
Skinny city park by the river with picnic tables, biking & hiking with urban views

I found the park by writing the lime scooter on the trails and I kept to the main trail and then I saw the park so I had to check it out and went up to the Park Road around took lots of pictures is very Scenic is very beautiful it's a wonderful day here in Denver getting ready for winter so I'm out enjoying all the…
Small park by the South Platt River with lots of green spaces. Ideal for taking a walk or jog. While the park itself isn't that spectacular, it's nice that there are several parks like this one along the South Platt River trail and they form a really nice green belt for runners and cyclists.
Nice park, well maintained. I live close and love the dogs and their masters. I walk this Platte River Trail almost every day. My only concern is are they using round up or manually clearing the over growth?
Love this little park. It's got great trails including by the water and tons of space for a picnic or playing frisbee or just wandering around. Hidden gem in the middle of the city, I'm so grateful to have nature so close to my downtown apartment.

“The park is no frills, just some benches and grass but great place to throw a ball for your dog or play frisbee.”
“Well-lit and trafficked area so great for those late-night walks 👍 City views with a great 1/4 mi sidewalk that runs in a circle crossing over the Platte River.”

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
