Confirmed from Don Sullivan 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.

I skate through here regularly, and it's a super nice little park. The trail leading from Sullivan Park to Rotary is fantastic and scenic, and the whole riverfront is wonderful. For kids, the park has a decent looking playground and I think a BBQ or two as well. Ample parking and a decent bit of seating as well.

★★★★★ — Travis , Mar 2019

Green grass, shade trees and ramada.. A dip or walk in the river to cool off. All and all a great place to spend an hour or day.

★★★★★ — Sal , Jan 2025

Great park for a stroll along the paved pathway on the shore of the Colorado River ..we are hoping there was a dog park but not too be.. saw a rabbit and lots of pigeons..noticed a lot of ‘dog poop’..no excuse to not clean up after your pet .. poop bag dispensers and garbage cans are readily available

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.
