Confirmed from Colorado 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.

“New playground equipment that is fenced in, 2 basketball courts, lots of open grassy space, and nearby walking trails (dog friendly).”

So clean it's nearly spotless. There are two small playground areas, one for ages 2-5, and one for ages 5-12. And I mean "small" as in two play apparatuses in the younger one, and four in the older one. There are two basketball courts next to these. Extremely clean here too.

★★★★★ — Craig , Jan 2020

Great park to walk the dog or bring the youngsters to play in the well equipped playground, swings etc , nice basketball courts where you can have a nice game of hoop or just shoot some baskets , park is well kept and extremely clean , I use to walk at the Brick Reservoir which is nice , but I now frequent…

★★★★★ — Giulio , Jan 2020

Basketball courts, baseball field, and playground. Hiking trails that also connect to Sawmill Trail. Trails can be used for biking and dog walks too. Just wish there was a water fountain. Maybe I missed it.

★★★★☆ — Keith , Aug 2025

Great park for kids and dogs. Nice path for walking. The kids from pick up brick were there today making the park devoid of garbage, very impressed with the crew.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
