Confirmed from Clear Creek Valley 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.
Grassy spot featuring a creek, a pond, a playground for toddlers, a playground for older children and ziplines.

I am simply in love with this gargantuan and beautiful park. It has everything here, a small lake, small houses, ginormous array of park play structures and it’s 24 hours. Which is fantastic for me as I am a night owl to say the least.
This is a great space and one of our favorite parks. I've been living in the area for 12 years and it's been in the works for that long - so I'm really glad it has not disappointed. Features: 1. Younger child playground area with clubhouse and very cool slides and toys along with baby swings. 2.
I walk this park everyday. I take my grand children to play. We love this place ❤️.
