    Came here on an evening hike with my partner right before the winter solstice. Will have to do it again to see the sights during the day (as well as explore the Dinosaur Ridge side of this area) but the view of all the city lights at the summit was stunning. Decent-sized parking lot when you enter. Wasn't busy at all when we were there. Moderate 6.4 miles of switchbacks, perfect for training if you're a runner. Dog and kid-friendly. Interesting trail, being immersed in nature while still surrounded by city sounds.

    This hike was pretty easy and was a nice hike to do in a couple hours. There isn't any shade so prepare for that when doing the hike. Not too crowded and enough space in the parking lot.

    My wife and I did the 6.7 mile Green Mountain Trail loop. We are avid hikers but usually at sealevel, so the elevation differential was challenging even though the trail itself was fairly easy. We started in Parking Lot 3 and went to the right. Cool vistas and a loop made this a great morning. Would definitely do it again, but would wait for a less soggy trail day!

    So close to home and challenging enough for a short or longer hike. There are 2 parking lots that I know of. One is off of Alameda and is quite small and has a Porta-Potty. The other lot is off of Rooney Road and is larger with permanent bathrooms. There are a few bicycle tools there for the mountain bikers. You do have to share the trails! I had to give 4 stars because: there are no distances for each trail on the trail markers/signs or the master trail map. And because the mountain bikers have become snobs that don't even announce when they come upon hikers on the trail. All you need to say is "Rider-up," as a courtesy to the hikers you are supposed to yield to. We saw a non-venomous Bull snake cross the trail. They have the markings of a Rattlesnake, but no rattle on the end of their tail.

    This is a really nice park. They've got a little lake with a fountain and there were tons of baby…read moregoslings which was super cute. The playground was really nice and my daughter had fun playing there. They have a good picnic structure lots of grassy area for picnic or sports all around Goode Park lots of parking.

    I think their slogan should be "O'Kane Park: Not Nearly As Sketchy As You'd Think."…read more Or is it just me that thinks that rhyming your park with the name of an illegal controlled substance was a bad idea? At any rate, I've seen some sketchy, skeevy parks in the Denver Metro area, and I'm happy to report that-- despite it's poor choice in monikers-- O'Kane park is NOT one of them. The play structure? IS AWESOME. It's remarkably graffiti-free (no small feat on the West Si-yeeeed) and big enough so that even when it's crawling with ankle-biters on a sunny Saturday afternoon, the kids have room to roam. There are slides for every age and bravery-level, plus lots of tunnels, rings, bridges, and poles. If you happen to fall off any of these things, you'll land in some soft, clean wood chips. Nice! Aside from the playground, there are covered picnic/BBQ areas (available to reserve, if need be), plus ACRES of green field space, walking trails, tennis and basketball courts, and a little pond. Dogs do need to be on leash here, and most people respect that. Of note: the place can be crawling with Bitchy Belmar Mommies. Last time I was there, my 19-month-old had the AUDACITY to touch another kid's sippy cup (the horror!). BBM came swooping in, antibacterial wipe in hand, nose all out of joint and practically busting a vein in her forehead. "Sorry," I said, casually (because it was REALLY no big deal), "he's in that 'grab everything' stage." I didn't mention that when you bring a brightly-colored wagon full of toys and sippy cups to a public playground and park it right next to the slides, you really can't expect other kids NOT to take an interest in it. "Well!" BBM huffed at me," MY kids are preemies, and they just recently got over being sick, so..." In that "..." were implied the words: "keep your filthy kid's germy hands off my stuff." Um, hello? A) You're at a public playground, and that big ol' jungle gym your darlings are climbing upon has WAY more germs on it than my kid's hands ever will. And B) your kids are like, FOUR FREAKIN' YEARS OLD. If you're still playing the preemie card, you have some serious issues, lady. Anyhow, Bitchy Belmar Mommies notwithstanding, O'Kane Park is a pretty cool place. Check it out!
