Confirmed from Sagecrest 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.

Had a nice lunch sitting in the shade at the park this afternoon with my daughter. It was clean, quiet and nice listening to the birds.

★★★★★ — Holly , Jul 2023

Accessible by the Sagecrest Trail or Roadrunner Parkway and with plenty for kids to do. Has a picnic table and public restrooms. Also offers a gorgeous view of the Organs. The city visits often to clean the restrooms. Parking is street only and can get a little rocky.

★★★★★ — Robyn , Dec 2023

This is a very nice, quiet, and underutilized park. The grass is green, beautiful shade trees, and well maintained.

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.
