Confirmed from Berks Nature Angelica 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.
Peaceful park featuring playground and disc golf, along with picnic tables.

“Definitely check out Berks Nature they are a non-profit organization with so much knowledge and many activities to offer for all ages.”
I really love this park. The trails are so beautiful and easy to walk through even with small children. It's also very educational. Lots of schools have field trips here. Today I discovered a small book stand, almost like a book swap.
Nice to explore the outside with posted signs to see what wildlife is there. Also fish in the stream. I myself miss the dam but this is also nice. Helps the kids learn along with playing. Will definitely be going back with the kids! Next time walking the trails!!
I thoroughly enjoyed myself 💯! I enjoyed the story walk even though I'm an adult...I discovered that they have a little library book box for all ages, so I know where to donate my overstock. A staff member gave me a strawberry 🍓 from their garden & it was the BEST!
Nice outdoor area with trails and outdoor play place for kids. This park is co-leased by Berks Nature who has an educational center open to the public on site. Check their website for building hours. The park also has a disk golf course and picnic tables as well as open areas for general use.
