Confirmed from Northwest Open Space'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.
83-acre community park features a multisport complex & wooded nature area with trails & wildlife.

Beautiful open space, you can run, walk with your pet and friends, they have space for soccer.
Was a very nice and clean semi nature walk with my dog. Didn't even know this had fishing and several sitting spots to enjoy the area!
Beautiful place for a sunset walk or anytime with 2 or 4 legged friends!
It's in the middle of Northglenn, but it has some fantastic views of the Flat Iron mountain range. This is the perfect place to come if you need a quick walk or break. Nicely placed benches allow you to rest and take in the views!
