Confirmed from Prairie Sky 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.
Open park with sports fields & courts, along with a large sheltered area of picnic seating.
What runners say about Prairie Sky Park
“Although I'm sure the people playing baseball/softball don't appreciate the people who don't clean up after their dogs.”
“Spectacular sunrise and sunset views of the entire front range, lots of trails, dog friendly, great bike challenge up the hill, and benches everywhere.”
Nice clean park!! Lots of room for kids to play and not be so close to each other. The equipment is still in Good Shape. Shelter Area is Great. Lots of Grass Area for Games or Picnics. Great park for walks and dog walks. Great Area. 👍🏾
Spectacular sunrise and sunset views of the entire front range, lots of trails, dog friendly, great bike challenge up the hill, and benches everywhere. Highly recommended.
This park is wonderful! The variety of playground equipment is great, and the little kids playground and big kids playground is divided by a ramp (which my daughter loves to run across).
Fantastic park with great play grounds for all ages. Kids loved it and the parents enjoyed the shade in the gazebo. Water fountain is always very refreshing if you let it run for second. We will definitely be back.

“There’s also a big gazebo with picnic tables, a water fountain, one grill, and a porta potty (though we didn’t use it).”
“GREAT playground with plenty of parking next to a soccer field and baseball diamond.”
