My 1st time there. I went up to the Chutes for some downhill mountain biking. Trails were well maintained. I enjoyed the downhill course. Right at the point of I coukd ride it, but had to be careful as im not as skilled as others on downhill tracks. Very manageable, just watch out for the minor drops and bumps. No wrecks so im happy ♡

Wonderful hike with many trail options. We were greeted by multiple large deer on the trail and got some fun videos. Whether you bike or hike it is a nice place to visit. Fully recommend this natural area.

This is such a beautiful trail. Easy access, not a lot of people, wide trail space, and the most amazing views. Only downside is the construction on the 2 ponds next to each other. Both are currently gated & 1 is entirely dried up. Other than that, this is my favorite trail in Colorado Springs.

I work for a summer camp, and this park is great for biking or to take groups hiking and hammocking. Great view of downtown Colorado Springs while you’re hiking! Amazing spot for outdoor education since the trails are not difficult and easy for most children. Definitely kid-friendly. I also saw several people walking their dogs here. This park used to have a dog beach at the reservoir, which is currently closed for repairs. I hope they bring it back soon!

Me and my friend did a weekend trip to Colorado Springs. We started off with all the tourist hikes. Incline, zip line, garden of gods, red rocks. We brought our dog with and after a weekend of go go go, omg this was the PERFECT Sunday easy walk. We had so many laughs and there were so many things to see from cool rocks, plants I’ve never seen and animals. It really felt like I was in lord of the rings walking this meadow lol. It was even better with light rain and clouds. It was magical. I’d run this trail everyday if I lived there. This was by far by favorite over all hike we did.
