Confirmed from Cushing 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.

“Features for everyone of all ages.”

We went on a Saturday, and it was packed but not too much. There was still plenty of space for everyone. It's a gorgeous park with lots of things to do. There's a disc golf course, things for kids, lots of places to walk, and it's just a great park that's nearby.

What can I say OG skate park, in Englewood they moved the skatepark part and put a workout area where the old skatepark part was shaded picnic tables barbecue grills, a basketball court and playground. Good park for a stroll as there is a nice walking trail and a small pond..

★★★★★ — Elevate , Apr 2025

Great Park that takes advantage of the natural tree canopy for shade. Does a fantastic job of using nearby old growth trees to make a comfortable place to play with the kids. And if your kid enjoys watching skateboarders, there’s a nice shaded place to watch them as well

This dog park is a great new addition to Englewood! There are agility structures, shade, benches, bags, a small dog side, and a big dog side! We love visiting the dog park!

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.
