Confirmed from Sagebrush 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.

Wish this park was by my house! Perfect place to fly my drones nice big open patches of grass. Even though there was lots of people taking walks with their dogs and kids I never once felt as if I could possibly crash into anyone or anything. People were also very nice and were more Curious then put off by the drones.
Beautiful place to walk the dogs. It’s got a huge sidewalk trail, lots of big beautiful trees, and lovely view of the mountains. Lots of people and dogs though, even midday on a weekday.
This is a phenomenal large neighborhood park lined with beautiful well kept homes and nice trees. If you walk around the park at a decent pace one can get all the way around it in about 15 mins, so twice around will be good cardio.
Great park. Lots of open space for kids to run around, but best of all were the trees. So many trees! It's hard to find parks with shelter from the sun around the Denver suburbs but this place has an abundance of shady spots. Our dog and the kids love it here.
