Confirmed from Sheridan Recreation District'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 featuring 2 playgrounds, baseball fields and tennis courts, plus a bike path.

★★★★★ — Edward , Oct 2025

Love this park and area. This hill is perfect for sledding in the winter. The trail is perfect for a workout in the warmer weather. The rec district has some good options available for kids and adults. I just wish they offered more of a variety of classes and at different times.
