An extensive trail system in the main park and outlying greenbelts. The trail is mostly
easy however, there are a few short stretches of steep grades that exceed 8% slope that
could be considered moderate by some users.
Park History
This park was originally called Columbine Knolls South II Undeveloped Park. The HOA began
developing a master plan for the park in 1988. The first phases of the trails system were
initiated in the early 1990’s. By 2001 the entire trails system was renovated to an 8’ wide
concrete surface.
