Such a fun park. They just put down fresh mulch at the playground so its super soft when the kids go wild. There is a beautiful creek that runs through and a giant swing set. The highlight is the giant slide made to look like someone sleeping. Few downsides people do not clean up after themselves and there can be trash. And bike riders go crazy fast along bear creek trail so you have to keep the kids away from that path.

Beautiful park tucked away but not too far. Bike trails, picnic space, beautiful flowing creek, lots of shady trees.

Its a beautiful park with lots to do with lots of open space. My family and I go there to enjoy the trails. It may not be the mountains but its a beautiful park in the middle of a city. My only complaint would be the trash. Many people liter all over the place. Pictured is a cool snake I saw in a tree at the park. If you like nature walks but cant go to the mountains this is a beautiful place.

Very nice trails. Very convenient to englewood and lakewood areas. Some parts are a little dirty and have a couple of homeless camps. The kids park looks nice

This is a terrific park. Really big with lots of places for a picnic. Tons of parking that is currently partially closed due to Covid.

It is a beautiful place. I grew up here many years ago. I would suggest that you see it at some point. A nice place.

Great price. Way too over populated at times - afternoons are less busy. I wish they would allow tree hammocks! Sometimes they enforce the life vest requirement to be on the water. Staff has ALWAYS been polite. The site is always clean - please help KEEP it that way. There are bathrooms, picnic tables, concessions sale, and rentable water equipment. Recommend!

Love this park! It doesnt seem very big but it stretches along a narrow part of the river. The trail is busy but the scenery makes it relaxing and worth the walk. Best part is putting your feet in the water and instantly cooling off when its hot outside. I definitely recommend checking this park out. its very beautiful and pretty well kept.

Great place to walk your dog. Everyone is good about leashes.

So many amazing things to see, hear, and smell. Great hike and great time. Trails go on forever! 40 yrs Ive been walking this trail, I find something new everyday.

Took my daughters and niece paddle boarding it was a great experience very clean and everyone at the board shop was super friendly and knowledgeable

A little green piece of wilderness to escape to. It is almost great, except that it needs some cleanup help. Sadly, there is a lot of trash laying around.

Nice park, a few riff raffers but no more or less than any other parks in the Sheridian, Englewood, Lakewood, Denver area. Great place to watch squirrels or feed ducks. Ok playground for kids.

Me and my kids like the park and all the cool little trails there !!

Great park to go to, the only downside is theres not enough parking space.

Great place except that folks are overflowing the trash cans with so much garbage its all over the ground. Quite a few homeless live in the woods but theyve all been nice and no issues so far.

I find beauty in almost everything, But the park was littered and strong smells of urine in the parking lot. Definitely better parks out there.

Highway noise is pretty loud and there were quite a few derelicts. Decent playground and nice foliage during fall.

Recently, I discovered a dead beaver floating in the stil lwater area of the river where everyone soaks. No one at the park wheres masks during the pandemic and other kids asked my kids why they were wearing masks. Ugh.. come on people.

Me and Aalayah! Me daddy daughter Park date

Nice view and the water is good to get wet if your really hot and a great place to have a BBQ.

Good place just to go relax! A simple getaway in the city.

The park it’s self is pretty, but there is a grouchy old mower man who says we can’t hammock. There is no rules posted anywhere (online or in park) that says we cannot hammock. We have hammocked here several times and we have never been harassed like that. A community service officer saw us hammocking and saw nothing wrong with it.

This place is cool with a river and nice paths. It als has a weird playground that is definitely worth seeing.

Enormous park with paved trails on a creek, playground with a climbing wall on the wesrlt side!

Had a really great time at the park with my nephew. First time there and will for sure keep going there

I never been to Bear creek park I would like to go and have fun

Hidden Jewel!!! Nice place for the whole family.

Its a cool place to get relax for walk or getting fun with family or friends I recommend it.

Its a nice place for children to get wet during this pandemic 2020.

The homeless is out of control. People are living in the park. It is very dirty. They are not keeping the park clean. It use to be a nice clean park. The homeless are everywhere from the YMCA all the way past BC Park.

Lovely for a morning walk, paved and unpaved trails.

I grew up going to this park and its still a nice park. But I got to even with all the brand new updates to the playground theres still some creepy vibes in that park. I grew up in Bear valley and I moved to North Denver and we recently went back down there with her baby. The swings are still kind of dirty although not covered in graffiti which I was very proud of. Good job Bear valley Park keepers! but its the same bathrooms they had over 40 years ago and probably even older. Probably updating the bathrooms from the 60s might be a good idea definitely creepy! But the park is definitely made some great improvements and Id love for it to continue.

I had my sons Welcome Home party here a while back. They had several places to have a gazebo and tables and benches. There was a creek you could play in and a nice little path to walk. Also, a play area.

Fun park, just with the play structures had more shade. Most things we too hot to use when we were there. The splash pad area was a nice surprise!

Great place to bring the family for some fun in the creek and grilling. Plus the dog loves the creek too!

Great for picnic with the family.

Filthy. Homeless camps contribute to the trash problem. Found a syringe in the creek.. lots of snakes too..no parking either.

It was beautiful. Just needs some trash picked up.

Pleanty of open space and kid friendly

Nice place to camp if you want something close to the metro area. There are no trees in the campground though it does have electricity and pay showers, $1.75 gets you 8 minutes which is nice but you can get a shower for $1.00. Plenty of trails, a reservoir to boat and fish in and some quiet and peace from the city.

Love the splash pad, park an creek. Plenty of space for kids to get their energy out

Fun place to hike around a bit, good play equipment for the kids.

A great place to let the kids explore and experience life

Love this park! There is no camping here though, never has been. But you can rv during the day and listen to loud clown music against your will. Great trash service here though. Just have to be proactive and remind certain people of the rules here and be vigilant, some teenagers like to go here with guns

Such a fun playground for the kiddos! Huge play structures, lots of swings and even a water feature for some splashing. Stream run through the park and is fun to feed the ducks and play on the banks. Beautiful bike path too

This location is closed to everything but foot & bicycle traffic

Bear Creek Park aka the hat park to the locals is a wonderful place to take a nature walk, enjoy the Platte River as it Cascades through rocks under 3 really neat bridges or ride your scooter or bike. My daughter and I enjoyed walking through the tall grass on man made mini trails. The landscape was plush and super green. The park was clean of debris with exception of a few strange items such as a sterile strip package under the bridge but, overall we enjoyed the scenery. Tons of scooters and the usual bikers taking an evening ride, inhaling the evenings fresh air, with of course a hint of the Platte River. Traffic from 285 was at a minimum therefore, we were able to hear birds in the background with an occasional tune from a few families having a picnic. Overall I would highly recommend the park to anyone looking to break up the monotony of the usual around the block neighborhood walk.

Remember going to this park back in the late 80s when there used to be the old .50 movies at Bear Creek shopping center. Brought my 20 month old over to experience the cowboy hat slide lol

Nice spot for a jog and I seen a pretty chill spot for younger kids to play.

Peaceful n calming

Cool place to hang out

Lovley place great place to visit

Beautiful n clean

Saw some turtles in the pond

Well its a bit disappointing. My motto is you never get a second chance at a first impression. Well walking through the park in the you cannot even breathe. You have to put the shirt over your mouth and nose in order to breathe so you dont have a lung swell looks insects. Hopefully the city of Sheraton will be proactive and getting these mosquitoes insects under control. After all thats what I text dollars are paying for is it not?

The playground is nice, and this place is definitely a bit with families during the summer. It can seem a bit crowded with people having picnics or grilling. Spring is definitely my more preferred time to visit. Much quieter. If youre into pokèmon go, there are pokestops and gyms. If youre into Wizards United there are lots of inns and houses set to drop lots of energy.

Beautiful park. Has so much natural beauty. The trails, the creek all amazing views. My family and I love going there with a blanket and a picnic basket.

Relatively quiet depending on what time you go. Turtles in the little ponds are adorable. Ive done lots of photoshoots here over the years and its a great little slice of nature great for walks and some quiet time.

Great park, playground, and creek for wading. Lovely family scene on weekends!

A beautiful place to hike and bike! Enjoy the Colorado air and outdoors!

Nice open areas to let your dogs run

Good place to go and hang out if you have nothing better to do!

Gianni loved it here

Beautiful. Close to major highway while being far enough away from the hustle and bustle.

So beautiful perfect city mountain park.

Beautiful park filled with shady drug addicts, nice, friendly homeless people, and one lady who screamed You ever heard of a turn signal!? when I was sitting completely still on my bicycle checking my phone.

Quiet and clean

Great park for the kids to play at, wonderful biking trail that takes you all the way into Denver. Nice little river that you can follow through the park.

I lOVED this park and trail. The trail leads to the cutest park with a tri-level slide !

Great location with big trees and large grassy areas.

Good Day

Clean park. Track and field area is great too

This park is great for kids! Nice, clean playground. Big Field for sports. Right by the river.

Bear Creek has is been beautiful for decades. Lets keep it our little secret .no more people

It has numerous different paths to explore with your dog, friends and family. The only thing to watch out for is some people will let their dogs go around unleashed despite there being a sign telling dog owners that their pets must be leashed.

Nice and peasfull

Great trail, park ranger always nearby and water felt so wonderful.

Nice park. Not overly crowded whatsoever. Great place to take your dog(s) for a walk, or to go for a run yourself. Bear Creak runs right near there, although I would NOT recommend fishing. If you can find a nice area in the water and have a dog that likes to swim, thats awesome. Picnic with the kids, games, etc. Great place to go.

Beautiful park nice little trails to walk on .Good for kids nice playground for them

Great place for all. Good trails, fun park with small splash park.

Lots of different paths to walk has a creek and ponds also has a playground and splash pad

I love going here at sunset

Great ride and shade and nu e river to sit and relax!

Beautiful park. Bear Creek runs through it. Hence the name, Bear Creek Park. You can ride from the light rail on the Bear Creek path all the way to Morrison and beyond. Excellent ride. Banked turns that are really fun when youre flying. No kidding. They dont pour concrete at these angles by chance. This was done purposely. So much fun. See you there. JS

Our favorite spot to go running, play in the water or just lay in the sunshine.

Need to clean the water ways

Just like most of all the parks and trails in Colorado , the pure beauty and nature is all you need to enjoy them all any way you desire!

Amazing outdoor views. Beautiful park with ample parking, BBQ grills and easily accessible bathrooms

Beautiful

My daughter and son loved going there.

Very nice trail

The hat has been here 4ever! Kids love it. A little bit concerning at night but over all nive area.

Bio Hazard disaster left from the homeless. Throughout areas of the South side of creek..across the street from the veterans cemetery. Question is whom responsible for the cleaning it up. Whats being done to keep the park safe.

Should make water play bigger. Just suggesting

Nice park great play area for kids and family picnics

Its clean park and a favorite to eat lunch at

Where to begin... Ive been going to this park since elementary school. If I cant be found anywhere else, Ill most likely be at Bear Valley Park.

Great for local walking trails on the way to 7-Eleven and back. This park is well lit at night and usually many people have been around during the day. Three stars for the place it is a good idea.

Local and lovely! Can put inflatables, paddleboards, pontoons...on lake. Wonderful walking trails..one follows river into Morrison, another is paved and winds all over park to lake. Dog friendly. Great place to bike!
