Buffalo Park

Excellent park for families! Even with an insanely rambunctious toddler, we didnt have to all stick together and argue about holding hands every 5 seconds. Its nice and open on the trails making it easier to share the road. We enjoyed our little walk so much! The little side missions are fantastic too.

I’m so happy I marked Buffalo Park on my Flagstaff list of places to visit. The Flagstaff Park Easy to find and leads you into the great outdoors that Flagstaff has to offer. Deer roam free and all types of wildlife enjoy Buffalo Park as their peaceful home. No reason not to visit as you explorer Flagstaff Arizona. Easy hike for kids and seniors so everyone is welcome. Make sure to stop by the map to take the right trail there are many options to take. Enjoy the walk!

Absolutely beautiful trail and tons of wildlife! Very relaxing walk and many trail options to go as long as youd like. Highly recommend!!

What a great park!! Make a loop in the beautifuly kept Mountain view park or take one or several of the trails that take you through miles of mountain beauty just north of Flagstaff.The Arizona Trail is part of this incredible trail system.

Likely one of the busiest trailheads in Flagstaff, but if you know what trails to take out of the Park, becomes a completely different experience. Always some parking, even at the busiest times. Great views of Elden and the Peaks without having to go too far or a gateway to the network of trails around the Peaks, depending on what youre looking for.

My husband and I are in Flagstaff with a group of neighbors. This park was recommended by the hotel staff where we are staying and I am so glad they did. We all thought the park was beautiful and we actually walked around it quite a bit. Further inside the park it smells great. The kids had lots of fun, too. Would definitely recommend, especially during sunset.

The walking trail, good for all ages (2 miles), is well maintained and is an easy walk. Alot of locals use it as a running trail, walking their dogs(on leash) and their is designated exercise spots right off the trail to,( jump over a 4 ft wall, climb ropes, climb a vertical ladder, etc.....), so a little bit extra than just running or walking if your up to that.Depending on how far you want to walk. If you walk the trail out of Buffalo Park and into US Forest Service land then it can be as long of a hike as you make it. So, if your doing that trail, then I would recommend water and whatever else you would need to take. One of the photos I took shows the trail lengths.

We LOVED this park! It will be a regular stop for us when we come up to Flagstaff from now on. Wide paths, beautiful trees, gorgeous views of the mountains. What more could you ask for! Great place for families. Our girls are small (4, 2, and 7months). They all did great.

The buffalo are surprisingly hospitable. You dont even NOTICE them for the longest time!! When they appear, youre still not sure theyre real...You begin to stroke their majestic manes, and only THEN do you realize that a drunk homeless man was just enjoying Halloween.

Very nice. I like to run the 2 mile trail. You can bike or even walk your dog.

Great place to take the family for bike, walk, or run. The scenic back drop, adds the perfect touch to that family photo.

Easy, gradual trail perfect for bikes, strollers, or timed runs. Trail access to the pipeline trail and other amazing futs trails. Mountain views all around-- we even took our wedding pictures here!

What a wonderful location. Away from humdrums of city life. Kid friendly. Dog friendly. A good trail where baby strollers can be easily taken. The weather was great. I just loved the place.

This park was amazing at night! The stars looked so close. There were families walking around enjoying the sights.

This was a beautiful walking trail that we was passing and decided to stop and it was a great choice

Great little hike. Wide path stroller compatible.Beautiful view of the mountains around.Nice fitness trail. Dog friendly.You can explore deeper in the mountain via the Arizona trail.

Wonderful simple trail, great for young kids and dogs. Popular, a little Crowded, enough to not feel alone, but with decent stretches where you may not see anybody. Very Easy, Good beginners trail, can walk around for hours

Beautiful, open, quiet.This sign made me stop and dance, which is technically excercize.

Beautiful view.. perfect hike for all ages.. parking was available as well as weather was perfect..

Miles of gradual trails and peak views, suitable for timing, strollers, and bikes. We love Buffalo Park so much we did wedding photos here!

A nice place to get away in the heart of Flagstaff. Buffalo Park has a nice 2 mile unpaved circular walking/running/biking path with great views of the San Francisco peaks and My. Elden. Its also away from the noise and lights of Flagstaff so its ideal for a quiet afternoon jog or evening star gazing (it closes at 10pm, 12am on the weekends).

An absolute beautiful place! Beautiful trails especially at night!

Visited Buffalo park in mid June and it was a very nice hike. We got there around 10:00am and there were cross country teams from all over the US practicing. It is one of the best locations to train at over 7000 feet and smooth trails to run for miles. Very neat to see these athletes take on the altitude and see how there bodies react.

Great place to get in a good walk. With your furry friends, your best friends or your favorite tunes or podcast. Different trails, exercise equipment along the way. Fantastic scenery and wildlife.

Pastoral trails surrounded by an amazing backdrop. Flat paths suited for all ages and ability.

Love it! 6:30am walk with the dogs on a Wednesday hardly any people. It was chilly but the sunrise is beautiful and we saw some baby deer

Beautiful nice walking trails. You can bike or walk. Just have fun.

Great 2 mile loop for walking, jogging, and biking. If youre lucky, sometimes there are deer at dusk.

I love buffalo park. Many walking/running trails, they have an exercise course for you to try throughout the park. Its a 2 mile loop in the wide open with amazing views of the peaks. Every time im in Flagstaff I make sure i stop at buffalo park!

Nice path..cruised on it with my wheelchair..but its got a couple steep inclines..

We went looking for a nice place to just walk after hiking almost 30 miles over the past week. This place is awesome! There is a 2 mile volcano cinder loop trail that is easy for people of all ages. The Arizona hiking trail passes thorough the park which is neat. I believe you can access the Flagstaff Urban trail system from this park. You can bike there as well. They have several exercise stations along the trail for those who wish to enhance their workout. The views of the San Francisco Peaks and forest were amazing. We even saw some mule deer chilling out under some trees. This place was just what I was looking for!!!

Beautiful backdrop of the mountains with a variety of easy trails thats perfect for the family. Great for running and plenty of parking.

Absolutely beautiful park for walking/hiking alone or with family/friends!! Highly recommend!!

Great park! Large, well maintained even now. Ramadas are taped off, though. We went geo-caching and there were some fun finds in the area.

If you are in town and looking for a place for a nice walk to be able to get out and enjoy the fresh air this is it. It is free to enter and the trail is nice and easy so it is a good spot for an after meal walk to enjoy the views of the pines and the mountains.

The views here are beautiful. The park itself is very peaceful, and quite large. Very good for a morning jog, run or just to go there and relax, or paint! Cant miss out on this park if youre visiting Flagstaff, AZ!

Great place to run or walk. Lots of flat easy trails. Also ties into FUTS.

Love this park its so nice to just enjoy a walk and see all the trees . I saw lots of little kids enjoying it too.

Clean fresh air with a scene. Couldnt ask for anything else.

Quite and relaxing needs more benches on the trail itself espeacially the wooded section to kick back and enjoy wild life with the bit of peace and quite

Went for a night time walk with 3 toddlers and flashlights. We had a blast. Very busy in the evening as its cooler outside. Great early morning/evening activity.

Great place to walk along the paths. However dont let your dog get into grass - its hiding cacti

I lived in flagstaff from 1988-2001 and I never went to Buffalo Park. Now i live in Phx and recently my daughter moved to Flagstaff. So, decided to take my grandaughter for a walk here.This place is amazing. Lots of walking and exploring. My children loved this place. Spent 2 hours. Will definitely be coming back everytime I come to Flagstaff.

We went for a walk around the park and it was beautiful. People walking and jogging by, we saw some deer, there are exercise stations and the view of the sunset was fantastic. If you are looking for serenity, youll find it here.

Great place for low impact hiking. Nice views as well.

Went walking here during snowfall but it started coming down sideways in a storm and we were stuck in the open due to no tree cover or any cover so it was a struggle to make it back to the car. But nice area

This is a really enjoyable mild hiking experience/fitness trail which serves as a kind of hub for even more advanced hiking through McMillan Mesa.It’s a great place to ride a bike to get some basic laps in and absolutely worth a visit.

Great bird watching and peaceful.

Great views of the peaks, a nice and easy but fairly long loop if youre not used to walking more than a couple miles at a time.

Beautiful place for easy walking. Lots of trails and family friendly. Wide path and great views!!!!

Super easy trail for kids and novice hikers. Very flat pebble and dirt trails.

This is a park with a walking trail... is true but completely glosses over the pristine beauty of high country wildflowers and views unmarred by development. Do yourself a favor and go take a walk.

Nice quaint small grassy park with plenty of shade, benches, and tables. Great place for outdoor lunch or a game of catch with your kidsClose to the library

We loved this park. If youre looking to hike or bike these trails are great. If I make it back to Flagstaff I will definitely go back and hit more trails.

This is a large city park located north of Flagstaff. The main draws here are well maintained hiking/biking trails and the opportunity to view wildlife.

Nice place to go exercise by walking, running, riding, static gym equip....clean. not bad!

Nice easy hiking...nice place to walk your dogs...

It’s a quick walk with a lot of fitness options that anyone can take advantage of, and with the close proximity to Mt Elden’s bike, it’s a great place to get in shape and have some good challenging routines.

Awesome trail we had a fun night walk, gazing at the stars.

Great place for a hike and to get go get fresh air. One giant looping trail makes it nice and easy to navigate while walking. The trails were nice and well kept would definitely recommend to a friend.

Beautiful...seen a whole lot of deer....

Really big nice park with trails.

Saw deer, its very good for.kids and open all.night!

I was hoping to run into some cute buffaloes in the park. No buffaloes. Disappointed.

Huge serene place. Beautiful refuge for Flagstaff residents

Buffalo Park is a beautifully maintained park just north of downtown Flagstaff. The park offers unmatched views of Mount Elden and seems to be detached from all neighboring civilization. If you are a lover an animals, you may be rewarded with sightings of deer grazing in groups. This park is dog friendly and is complete with a few trail options that predominately cover level ground so theres no need to break out any adept level hiking gear. The only cost for entry is your commitment to keep the park clean and respect the grounds as if they were your own. Enjoy.

Buffalo Park is a great place to get some excersize and get in touch with nature. Came back here at midnight for star gazing, and it was breathtaking. Best accidental adventure Ive been on.

Great place to walk, run and stroll with your dogs. Beautiful views.

This is my new favorite park. Didnt know it existed until few months ago. I totally want to come here for jogs, bike rides and walks. Beautiful area just dont come if theres lightning. Became super scary for us at one visit we didnt think about how lightning more than likely would strike the mountain and yea...... only negative about this place is the bathrooms. Dislike having to use a port-o-potty at a park and that its all the way in the front only. Know before you go! lol

A great place to walk around and enjoy the scenery.

Great place to see the stars. Open 24 hours. Being from Phoenix area its nice to see the stars at night.

This place is very relaxing ! Its very peaceful, its a nice walk and a nice place for running. The landscape is very open and you can see the mountains and trees. Great place for pictures.

Fun quiet hikes. Flat trail is easy but relaxing. Other trails more challenging and peaceful.

Slow People move to the right . Great marked 3200m loop.

Probably one of the best city parks in all the united states. So much room and even exercise stations for advanced workouts.

Great place to run or walk and enjoy the view of the peaks

Beautiful park with such great views. Nice 2 mile trail loop and exercise stations to get your heart rate up.

Nice park with several walking loops.

Great hiking area. Very level, can be hot at times

Beautiful.Simply put. Nice trails, amazing views. We want there 3 times it was so amazing while we were in Flagstaff.

Great place for hiking, biking. Wonderful place to enjoy the scenery.

Great place for a stroll or a simple run or jog

Love walking here. We see deer almost everytime we walk. The trails are well marked, and you have a few to choose from. Dont have to walk same trail everytime.

Great for walking, hiking, and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Open area walking park with an amazing view at sunset!

Great walking trails. You feel like youre in a national forest. Beautiful.

Really nice community park. Over 2 miles of walking trails, a challenge course along the main trail as well. Lots of walkers and runners, a few bikers. We were there early, and many more were arriving as we were leaving. Really wide walking trail.

Nice place for an evening stroll or morning jog, with amazing views of the snow covered peaks. Watch out for deer at dusk!

It is a 2.2 mile loop with plenty of space to pass people. Great if you are looking for an easy walk.

Great exercise park. Has a 1,2, and 3 mile loop.

I proposed to my fiance here. This place is beautiful with Humphreys peak in the background. Nice clean air and beautiful scenery all around. Not a park with a swing set but great trails to walk and a nice open space to center yourself and your mind. Absolute must Everytime I visit Flagstaff.

Nice atmosphere, was able to complete a video meeting from a bench in the shade while enjoying nature

Did you know you can just set up an arch in a field here and get married? No reservations and no cost? Yeah, no sure why more people don’t do that! My husband and I decided to low-key elope (earlier than our planned wedding) and found this place online. Had never been there until we showed up to get hitched! Absolutely breathtaking views. We returned on our honeymoon to walk around the park and talked about what a perfect place it would be to run or bike. Photos by Bradshaw Photography, arch by Maya Event Co. :)

Excellent place to walk. Alot of trails.

Beautiful hike very easy even for little ones

Nice quiet and very scenic

Alot of fun and we found a great place to sled. Looks like it would be a great area to hike in the warmer months.

Very cool park in the heart of Flagstaff. The views are fantastic and trails are beautiful. Perfect way to spend a few hours hiking and enjoying the mountain air and fantastic views. It is a gem hidden in plain sight. Would recommend this park for everyone.

Came to walk and get my heart beat going and I got both. I will be back.

Nice park with paved asphalt trails,
