Confirmed from River Run 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 offering picnic tables, restrooms, and opportunities for hiking, tubing, and surfing.
What runners say about River Run Park
I love the fact that Denver has invested in revitalizing the platt river both from an ecological and public use perspective. River run park showcases the effort with great amenities like parking, bathrooms, bike paths, seating, a surf wave, and nice grass.
River run park is a fun place for people of all age groups, if you are into boating, cycling, running this is the best place you can find in Denver. They have facilities for small picnic, you can explore the nature with you r family. The Englewood rec center is nearby so you can also go for some games or golf.
It is a small park but it has some very fun river rapids for tubes. There is a grass terrace on one side for picnics and relaxing between rides. The river has two rapids right at the park that can be quickly ridden and walked between.
Nice spacious park that is perfect for walking, biking, tubing or surfing. Nice big waves with a huge path for walking, jogging or biking. Golf course nearby but walk connects to I-70 trail.
