Confirmed from Fountain Creek Regional 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 on 460 acres with a fishing pond, multi-use trails, playing fields & picnic spots.

A beautiful park south of downtown COS. One observation I made while walking along the regional trail was the scent of the water. It’s a very distinct floral aroma, something that I found interesting. The scent followed the river. I passed plenty of dogs and bikers on the trail.

Great park to go alone, or with a family. Make sure to bring a stroller for smaller kids because the walk can be long.... and water shoes because there is an area to walk in the river. There is also a restroom by the playground and a play area for bigger kids and smaller kids.
Really love this little park. Great for dogs. Not overly busy. Nice to walk by the stream and let your dog take a dip.
