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.
Clean outdoor space with a paved path, multiple playgrounds and basketball courts.

“Beautiful park, Super clean, and playground has that spongy rubber floor stuff which is great for kids that are starting to walk/run”
“Beautiful park, Super clean, and playground has that spongy rubber floor stuff which is great for kids that are starting to walk/run”
“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.
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…
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.
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.
