Confirmed from Longs Peak 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.

Great park to walk dogs or take your children to play. It has a large grassy area for field sports, a softball field, one basketball hoop and play equipment. There are many sidewalk and trail options around this park. The paved sidewalk is also good for bicycles and scooters.
Good neighborhood park. Nice playground, soccer fields, and picnic pavilion. About 0.5mi paved trail surrounds it.
Great park, just found a couple swampy spots when running in grass. Beautiful view
