Confirmed from Knudsen 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.
Park featuring a playground with climbing structures and slides, plus picnic spots and a splash pad.
What runners say about Knudsen Park
“I would park my car and walk around the park and spontaneously my walk extends to nearby neighborhoods and it’s beautiful.”
Knudsen park is fantastic! Really nice playground in great condition, a few walking trails, right near the base of the mountains, has nice bathrooms and drinking fountains. Gorgeous place! Several shaded tables under a pavilion. Has the coolest water feature (it's not a splash pad).
Trails are easy for toddlers to walk. The playground will keep your little ones very entertained. The views are amazing!!!
Very epic park. Love the creek and the design. Super interesting to see it at no water szn and high water szn. Not to be political but I think it would be in the best interest of society for the single family homes built on big cottonwood creek to relinquish the land directly adjacent to the creek for revegetation and…
Very fun park for kids of all ages. There are two play structures, swings and a water play area. It has a pavilion with several tables. There is a walking trail around the park with gorgeous views of the Wasatch mountains.
