Confirmed from Pikes 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.

“Easy walking distance to Pumpkin Rock.”

This is a lovely park on the East side of Norco. Easy walking distance to Pumpkin Rock. Very nice playground. Beautiful walking trails around the park. Nice, clean, quiet place to walk the dog while the kiddos play. Restrooms are handy and fairly well maintained.

★★★★★ — Sarah , Dec 2022

Great place to come walk your dog, have the kids enjoy the playground area and doubles as 'overflow' parking every Labor Day weekend when the Norco Fair comes to town.

★★★★☆ — Trênt , May 2021

ME & MY KIDS FAVORITE TO GO PARK SINCE 8 YRS AGO!!! Even before the playground update, this was already a great park to visit! Convenient front parking available, algo available big running concrete track to get your steps done quicker!! Huge soccer field, you can set up for any game on the grass or fly a kite!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
