Confirmed from Banita 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.
Park offering picnic tables, a playground, and disc golf, as well as a public restroom.
What runners say about Banita Creek Park
“Wonderful newly installed children's play area, but needs more seating areas and clean restrooms.”
“Dog park has tall fence paved walking trail and plenty of parking.”
Been there couple times. Prefer pecan park but read there's a farmers market and flea market on weekends. There's a path by a little Creek, disc golf, couple play ground areas, rest rooms, picnic table. Worth going to visit
Great disc golf course for beginners or more experienced players looking for some challenging field work. Dog park has tall fence paved walking trail and plenty of parking.
The new equipment is amazing. My son loves the slides. And the walk next to the Banita Creek is very relaxing.
Good small park to walk in and has a nice little disc golf course and a playground for kids
