Confirmed from Stiglmeier 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.
Sizable park featuring wooded & grassy areas, plus trails, horseshoe pits & volleyball courts.

I always enjoy coming to this park. The paths are clearly marked, and the bathrooms are plentiful and clean. Lots of picnic areas and baseball fields. There's also a nice little playground right across from a set of bathrooms.
We were here visiting family and wanted to get out for some fun in a park. The trails were peaceful and not difficult at all, and the fresh snow on the ground made for a great snowman. Lots of fields and the playground was fun for the kids.
Great park with such beautiful nature trails, I always love coming here! I find it so peaceful, and you're able to observe a variety of birds and animals. Just as good anytime of year in my opinion, and although there's a lot to walk through, you don't have to go far to see something cool!
One of the best places we've been to! Beautiful nature trails and huge playgrounds. Very clean walking paths, trees and vegetation are beautiful, and lots of wildlife to see. Highly recommend ✨
