Confirmed from E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial 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.
Green space offering athletic fields, a lake with pedal boat rentals, plus a skatepark & play areas.
What runners say about E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park
“Plenty of amenities in the park, cool sculptures and history, convenient location to the trail that goes to the other side of the interstate, and some great views of the lake.”
“Very nice a peaceful and definitely love it.”
A beautiful park with a great lake full of wildlife. We were surrounded by baby geese and the kids loved it. Excellent shelter options for rent and other than a large amount of unhoused people on the grounds of the park it's very scenic.
This was my second year visiting this park while visiting Colorado. Super cute family park. I came in for a walk on a weekend and the park was busy but open enough to take a nice walk. They have a lot of local art around the park that you can snap a picture and go to the website to vote.
This park was so quiet and lovely. Plenty of amenities in the park, cool sculptures and history, convenient location to the trail that goes to the other side of the interstate, and some great views of the lake. Good place to walk and throw some ball with the dog too.
Convenient to hotels nearby. Nice urban park with a little pond for paddle boats, a walking path which includes a footbridge over the pond, skate park, playground, and art installations along the way.
