Parker Jordan Centennial Open Space

"A beautiful space to hike or ride, with a variety of native plants and trees. The creek is especially full this year from all the rain so the little waterfall areas are fantastic. Keep an eye out for coyotes and rattlesnakes, but they usually stay away from people."

"So beautiful...wonderful trail. However, I only offer 3 stars because when I was on my way back to my car my phone rang. So( I was standing still at this point) I unzipped my pocket reached in to get my phone ,almost dropped the phone . At this point There was a white guy with a red hat and his dog walking towards me.. again I'm standing still trying to answer the phone ..this guy wouldn't move . I finally answer the phone and move over . Then the white man starts yelling at me to move . My family was just telling me I need to be careful out there . Its because of people like that , who think they are privileged. But they and are not, actually they are less fortunate. So beware of white men !!"

"Fall and summer photos! This area is so beautiful. These trails are some of the local in centennial. This was an hour walk at 7am. Brisk 50 degrees. Some quiet time listening to classical. This trail is off of Jordan and Broncos parkway. Get out and release!"

"One of the best places to ride a bike, jog or even picnic. I go here just to chill at lunch with a quick walk. It has bike paths, running/jogging soft path, workout stations, picnic tables and a lot of nature. I can see bring the family here and making a day of it."

"Great place to take a walk. The trail goes for miles and miles in either direction with plenty of creek crossings to let "Fido" cool off. Or, if you have kids, the water is clean and shallow, so they can splash away hot summer days. The paved trail is multi use: walkers, bicycle riders, joggers, roller bladers and more. Most people are friendly and polite, which makes the experience all the more enjoyable. There are also side trails, little places to grab some alone time, such as the Tranquility Trail, giant compass and little amphitheater. My only complaint is that the diversity of trees is limited. There are cottonwood trees everywhere, but no aspens, no oaks, ashes or anything else. A few evergreens dot the trail in certain parts, but not enough to offset the lack of anything else. All in all, though, its a great place to get away."
