Very easy to get lost with 546 acres and 10 miles of trails in this urban park and thats just what I did. Trails were all graveled, wide with some elevations where I could see downtown, Garden of Gods and mountains. Trails are used for hiking, biking and horseback riding. I walked all the way to the Nature Center and back. Mostly in full sun with some shaded areas. Beautiful fall colors with all the trees turning reds and yellows this time of year. The park is well manicured with pavilions, playground and large open grass area.

Great place to hike and run! Usually not crowded. Some challenging hills if you choose to take certain paths, but there are flatter trails below.

This is an amazing place for dog owners! Tons of fenced in open areas for your dogs to run amuck. I have three dogs and was worried about letting mine off the leash but once I did they played beautifully with 15 other dogs nicely. They have a huge stream and picnic tables and benches . Its at the base of the mountain so the views are outrageously awesome.

Bear Creek Park was quite concerning because I went there to go look at bears never did see one also went to look for a creek, people said I was too late springtimes , they should have put that as not Bear Creek sometimes water in the spring Park. But it was pretty wide open and pretty nice, pretty well takincare of. It was a summary if you want to have your dog run around in a fenced-in area or if you would like to take your wedding pictures great place to come.

Beautiful! The leaves are starting to change, so well have to go back.

This is the most amazing dog park I have ever been too. One side is more grass and dirt with hills to climb and the other side is woods with streams. At the end is a watering hole for the dogs to play in together. Best part is that it is free. I would 100% recommend this dog park if you are in Colorado near the springs area.

Great urban park. Love taking my dog for walks here. Easy hiking with very wide trails. My dog loves getting a drink in the little bubbling stream near the stables. We havent visited the dog park as its huge and my dog has terrible recall.

This park is one of the most beautiful parks Ive been to. Its open, wonderfully maintained and just a joy to walk through. I highly recommend bringing your dogs with you, they will love it.

Love this place and so does my dog.. Great Hiking trails that are super easy surrounded by Beautiful mountains

Beautifully landscaped. Good, clean accomodations. Ame space without feeling crowded by others in adjoining pavilions. My family had reserves a pavilion close to parking and restroom facilities.

Always a good spot for a hike. Parking is not the greatest. Lots of nice short trails along the creek. Good starting point to make a longer hike to North Cheyenne Canon Park since High Drive goes from Bear Creek Park to the Upper Parking Lot in North Cheyenne Canon.

Nature is always good.. and beautiful to see the animals in their natural habitat.. lots to do and great place for social distancing..

What a lovely park. Lots of beautiful grass, trees, parking, quiet...we met for a park party, just three of us that have been couped up inside. We brought folding chairs and our lunches.. and sat in the shade...great time. Helps the attitude!

Wife and I wanted to find other places to play pickle ball in Colorado Springs and heard Bear Creek had tennis courts with one court with tape markers for pickle ball.Problem is even tho the courts look great, when you play on them whoever redid them put a fiberglass cloth and paint sealed and is all de-laminated from the asphalt that is underneath, you can see the seam lines where they were rolled down and seams have separated where moisture could get underneath and imagine throughout the winter froze and separated.Problem when playing the ball will bounce like a dead ball while playing, every bounce will be different. I see they are working on building new pickle ball courts and hope they dont put such covering on the new courts. Hope the new courts are great so I can give a 5 star.

We love love love this place. This is the second time we have visited. I live to bring my kids.We like hiking up to the right of the nature center and spending as much time as possible near the creek. It’s beautiful there! The nature center is also very good. We learned some new things in a short amount of time. There are tons of miles of trails. For short or long hikes. Bring water!

My dogs love it! & so do I! Pictures are worth many more than 1000 words!

Very raw. Not like a park. Meaning you can see nature in its raw form.hidden trails covers 8n ferns and water like upper north. Remember bear canyon..bring safety gear and water. No restrooms..

Very easy to walk in it. Have beautiful colors during this time of the year

Lovely park with stream that draws wildlife and birds. Trails that have good gravel base with some small inclines. Playground, dog park (amazing) and much more.

A great place for an easy hike. Great views all around from the hill top.

We love the archery range. Its free to the public , safe and clean! I would recommend coming here with children who are learning how to shoot.

From small to large. All breeds of dog to be seen here. Large area for free roaming socialized and smaller area for the younger pups. One of the 10 best in USA. Wet stream goes through the dog park, but some people think its for kids. Wrong! Keep an eye on kids playing in water as dogs love to run through the stream.

Its a beautiful place for mountain biking hiking walking your dog hanging out with the family

Nature in our own backyard. Beautiful trails and awesome hidden treasures (information and statues) great for all ages just be prepared for Colorado weather.

Picnic tables are spaced out, some covered and some not covered. Bathrooms were adequate. Recommend bringing your own table cloth, soap, paper towels, and hand sanitizer. Good way to meet with friends and family during COVID and still space out.

We love taking our dogs for a walk here because there are many trails and the scenery is beautiful. We like that there are some hills to make it a little more challenging and the trails are nice and wide.

Best Doggy Park!! Separate area for little dogs. Beautiful scenery, hills, flat walking Area & water for the dogs to play. Clean bathrooms for humans..

I like this park because there are pavilions that you can reserve, the park is very clean with sand volleyball courts areally nice.outdoor playground with rubber chips so the children can play without getting dirty or hurt. Its nice with green grass for soccor.

Easily accessible and a great location near the city... beautiful!

I truly enjoyed Bear Creek. Bear Creek dog Park is an awesome place to take the dog whenever time is right.

Awesome....lots of cool little side trails....i run here nearly every day....and always see flowers and birds...

Huge nice park. Safe clean and lots to do.

Love their dog park! Its very clean, and my dogs LOVE the river, the amount of space, and the plentiful amount of training areas. One of my dogs loves to work, so the training area is very nice.

My dog and I love this place! It is a huge area for off leash dogs with a creek running through it! It does get muddy after and during the snow melt, but if you have a dog hopefully you are pretty familiar with mud. Over all it is an excellent place to play and socialize your big or small dog. They have a separate small dog area in case youre not comfortable with the rest of the dogs.

Very good descriptions of the animals and insects along the paths.

Neat place to stop in and check out what type of nature/critters exist in Colorado!Love a good nature center and this one is very nice, clean, and full of information!

Best dog park in the area, creek is the best and tons of space for the dogs to run till their content.

Beautiful place and my dog loved it there! Definitely will be coming back!

I didnt walk around this park, but the view was nice from the parking lot

Best Dog park I have been too hands down. Public shaming should be a thing, I see so many people not cleaning up after their dogs, which I could say something to them. 5 stars for the park and is location, 1 star for the people that go here.

Well maintained playground, the park lawn was well manicured and free of trash. Nice place to take the family.

Very nice well kept park. Very green and shady with Pavillions, volleyball, playgrounds etc

I liked it. Just wish people wouldnt bring aggressive dog to a public dog park. Easy??

This is a huge off-leash dog park with water features, nice trails, and plentiful clean-up facilities for animal waste. Some shade, lots of sun, friendly fellow dog owners, and even a few human benches to sit on.

Nice nature center. Well cared for park.

Great place for the fam or for just a get away

Nice place my dog really enjoyed it.

Nice easy trails for kids, lovely little nature center, and our favorite part is the creek!

This place is huge with lots of trails and plenty of water for the dogs to play in

Best place around to take your dog. Too notch dog park.

Huge park nice area for dogs to run and be free and also nice designated walking paths for people as well. There is a creek and plenty of places to throw poop away. Only down side is there is plenty of poop not picked up and not a whole lot of parking in the front for weekends.

Bear Creek is a beautiful park! Picnic area, trails, seasonal gardening plots available to rent, jungle gym & many other amenities. Park is well maintained & safe. Approximately 1/4 mile down the road is Bear Creek Dog Park. There your Canine companion(s) can romp & play too!!As with ANY park or public hiking area, ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings, especially after dark! This area is home to Bears & 3 types of large cats: Puma/mountain lion, Bobcat and last but NOT least, the Lynx.All in all, a GREAT PARK for family & friends to gather at, or for you to soak up some nature without having to travel far. Ive attached 2 pix of the Garden Plot Area. Enjoy!

Love this place, it had a bee exhibit in the welcome center with a working hive... I was there while they were renovating the center but me and my boy had a good time...the trails are family friendly and fun with a bunch of plaques showing you whats around you... from plant life and trees to localized animals and creatures... nice little hike with a small stretch running next to a babbling brook.... definitely would recommend this if your in the neighborhood and want a nice little afternoon with the fam. 100% love this place go out and check it out...

Loved it. Its like doggo heaven. Leash free and a lot of friendly dog owners.

Great park lots of open field space, picnic areas and playgrounds.

A fabulous park with a myriad of trails to hike. The trails offer easy to moderate elevation changes and make for a great workout for trail running.

My dog always has a great time here and I like the stroll

A beautiful area to enjoy some nature!

Lots of open space to run and play and interact with other dogs!

Super pretty place. Loved it.

I love this dog park!!! It has rivers your pups can play in, hills, other puppies, friendly people, restrooms, and cleanliness. I had a smile on my face the whole time watching our dogs run around. It was a blast!!!

Is an awesome dog park !! Same review as my other one I have for Bear Creek dog park..this is just another entrance to the park its on the east side of the park and kinda secluded !! But gotta watch out for the occasional bonehead that thinks that their pitbull with nuts is allowed to be causing a ruckus when the park rules say different !! But other than that 5 stars is what it deserves 4 is what it gets!!

Cute creek to walk around. We set up a hammock by the river and relaxed. It was very wonderful lots of parking and not a ton of people around on a Saturday afternoon

One of the best dog parks Ive been to in this state ! As good as it gets Untill you actually go into the mountains!

People are generally friendly plenty of space for walking your dogs and most are friendly

Great place to go with your pup

A great little park to bring a lunch to.

This place is the best I ever took my dogs to, is really clean. And your dogs will have their time of their lives

I love this park! During a few weeks every fall, a massive swarm of goats descends on Bear Creek Park, and the result is magical. The trails are beautifully maintained, youre very likely to see horses, and there is a hidden pond and other fun things to explore if you know where to look. Excellent park for walking and dogs.

Well kept trails, great view out to the east, love to hike here.

Great for families and if you wish you can take a refreshing bath in the creek

Such an awesome park, friendly people, and so clean! The dogs were all running around, having the best time in the world.

Went for a hike. Few people on trails. Trails are well kept.

Nice place, peaceful. The nature center has lots for kids and adults to enjoy. All for free. I saw there was some monthly events they had going on. The have a bee colony inside which is pretty neat. Clean faculty. Didn’t hike too deep on the trails due to heavy ice (it’s January) there was still birds on the feeders.

Super fun, Urban mountain biking destination.

Happy dog happy life.

Always fun to get out and explore

Took my ex and her girls here while they visit from El paso one of my favorite parks since I was a kid.

So beautiful on the west side of the park.

Nice park for spur of the moment picnicking. Love to check out the gardens and speak to gardeners.

Trails for hiking, running, biking, dog walking. Picnic and grilling area. Kids playground. And other things.

Fantastic park, nice place to stroll around with your dog.

Always a nice place to bring my dogs. We love Bear Creek.

My family has been coming to this park every year for over a decade to do our family reunion. I love it there. So clean and very green in the summer. They have pavillons and a playground and multiple field areas for sports as well as a trail for hiking

Oh my holy CATS, be prepared for dog park ecstasy. Wide open spaces, a river for when its warmer, phenomenal views as you track your pups() whereabouts. There are even several parking lots so youll always find a spot!

This is super cool chill natural park

Great place to take you little friends. Separate big dog park with more area to let the big guys stretch their legs. The small dog side is great for little guys who like to sniff everything. Bring your friend & enjoy how much they like other dogs their size.

Beautiful park, pretty trails, cool nature center. The stuff in their building is great for kids, especially small ones. I think some or all of the trails are no dogs though.

Love this park. It is well kept and friendly people & dogs.

Great place for the dogs to run and play also has a creek the dogs get water and to play in water!!

A beautiful early morn hike

Nice creek. Great to make out with your girl

Fantastic walk for beginners and experienced hikers alike!

Great hiking but not a lot for strollers.

Beautiful place full of nice people and their lovely doggies.

If you are a dog owner, this is the place to take the dog. They have agility courses and a creek among many other things.

Its a good park

It was really nice. Great views.

From the visitor center I hiked out to town and aside from a trail partner misleading me a couple times the trail was easy to follow. Great place to find Spotted Towhees in September (counted 18 of them). Also plenty of Mule Deer and a jackrabbit. Beautiful habitat along the regional trail and an amazing presentation of Colorado Springs as you come into the town at the end of the hike.

Nice park, need more bathrooms.
