Confirmed from Crist Park Frederick'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.
Popular space for picnics and festivals featuring wood carvings, a playground, and a splash pad.

Park is beautiful, Frederick is a quaint small town that deserves more than a drive by. The walk down Main Street to Locust and 6th where we parked we were able to walk the majority of the town and it was an easy walk to the Hot Air Festival in the park. The music was lively and the park super clean.
Crist Park in Frederick, Colorado is absolutely charming and truly feels like the heart of the town. The park is clean, well-maintained, and features adorable sculptures that add so much character. During Christmas, it’s beautifully decorated and especially enjoyable to walk through.
I love it here. Frederick has some good parks and the wood carvings make for a great walk on the path, sometimes you can see where kids have vandalized or damaged the sculptures, which is an obvious shame and saddens me, but still a great walk to be had.
