Confirmed from George M. Wallace 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.
City park running along the Goldsmith Gulch, featuring trails, benches & a playground.
What runners say about George M. Wallace Park
“The park is well maintained and beautiful.”
“We love coming by this park ever since I lived here in the area 15 years ago and it’s especially beautiful in the fall time, when all the leaves are changing”
This has become one of my favorite parks in Denver. It is Soo beautiful here, the grass is so lush, there are places to workout, run, walk, and even trees great for hanging hammocks. The water feature and architecture here are wonderful as well. The kids playground is fairly large also.
This is a wonderful park to walk & take your pet to. It’s not a “dog park” per sè, but there are areas to let your pets play & run & also a nice paved walkway to walk or run on. There is a small playground for children & several wide open areas for playing. Beautiful scenery!
George Wallace Park is such a great spot, especially for a walk with the dog! It’s a family favorite spot to visit! The loop is big and has a little bit of everything—open grassy areas, picnic tables, and even workout equipment along the path that lots of people were using.
Beautiful park in Denver Tech Center south of the airport. Great place to run, walk, bike or bring your dog. There is a lot of open space. Leaves were just starting to turn on some trees. There is also a playground for kids.
