Confirmed from Ashland Creek Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
7 creekside acres with a community garden, playground, multi-use field & walking path.

Great clean park with a lovely small loop to walk and access to the river. The view of the mountains can be magnificent.
Nice little park close to downtown. Good level walk for you and your dog (on a leash).
