Confirmed from South Platt St. 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.
Popular park for ballgames and other activities, as well as sledding in winter.
What runners say about South Platt St. Park
Such an awesome place in the winter to go sleading. Grew up calling it "fox hill".
It's a great place for sledding in the winter and a wonderful place to play in the summer. Even a wonderful place to let the dogs run when it's quiet
Fox hill is great for sliding. Pick up your dog's poop there please. Best skating ever on a great rink!
Trail conditions & character
“Lots of fun stuff on playground, baseball fields, basketball court & hill for sledding.”
“Easy for children under 3, there is a bathroom they keep there and it's not dirty or smelly.”
