Confirmed from Englewood MetroPark Main Entrance'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.
Hiking and biking trails amid the mostly wooded scenery, also featuring picnic tables.
What runners say about Englewood MetroPark Main Entrance
“It's always beautiful, the trails are always clean and every one is always friendly even when they cross the street when you're running at them.”
Nice park which includes disc golf course, hiking trails, camping, restrooms, and bike trails. The bike trails connect to other nearby parks, while there are only about 10 miles that are directly connected, they are mostly wooded and quite hilly for this area.
