This is a great park. The view from the top of the big hill is very beautiful. But if the park is open till 10:30 PM I think it needs lights on the trails and at the dog park. I couldn’t see my dog playing in the dark which could have ended up in a bad situation.

Beautiful park for families and dogs, watch out for ticks in the summer but that's to be expected in any area with tall grasses! So dress accordingly & make sure to check your pets 😊

Such a nice place to visit all times of the year. In the winter there’s a massive hill to sled down, and you can always watch sunsets or sunrises from the top of it. There’s plenty of trails and paths to walk. There’s a skate park, a dog park, and baseball fields, as well as a playground. There’s a pond too! Right next to the hill is the bike trail as well, and across the way is a little nature reserve where you can see butterflies, bunnies, birds, etc.

A park is a park in most aspects, but what centennial has is a bit more. Giant sledding hill, skate park, lovely dog park with separate areas for small and large breeds, ponds, plenty of paths to walk. Only issue would be lack of shade on sunny days. Still a great park
