Confirmed from Colvill 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.
City park offering a boat launch, tennis courts, picnic shelters & an event building.
What runners say about Colvill Park
“Beautiful and well-maintained city park with all the amenities one could want.”
“I met some beautiful souls, and others thinking very highly of themselves, and little of visitors.”
“This park is really nice park away from city crowd with lots of swings and slides for all ages of kids.”
Great walking trails and river views. Huge park but there never seems to be many people here. Biggest playground area I've ever seen
THIS PARK IS AMAZING!! The playground is ginormous, and it's handicap accessible! There's ramps galore, lots of sensory toys, a couple harness swings, and a cute little garden with fun info for the kids. There's a water park here, too, but it's a bit chilly for that yet.
What a great park. Plenty of trails to walk, water park, marina with boat rentals(not same day). Playground for the kids, watching boats and tugs and barges. Awesome gardens. My mom had a great time playing too.
This state park covers many acres and offers so much for the family, nature enthusiasts and the average dog walker. From the Mississippi view, to the open grassy picnic, recreational areas, to the universal playground and discovery garden, to the over a mile paved wooded, walking trail.
Trail conditions & character
“From the Mississippi view, to the open grassy picnic, recreational areas, to the universal playground and discovery garden, to the over a mile paved wooded, walking trail.”
“It's an ideal place for birdwatching in winter because the parking lot is close to the main "action" (the trees where most of the eagles congregate.”
“Clean bathrooms and the kids had a blast on the variety of equipment.”
“My 2 yr old loves that he can walk around on the play equipment because of it being handicap accessible.”
