Confirmed from Boulder Creek'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.

What runners say about Boulder Creek

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (27 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice small park. Baseball field, play ground, hockey rink that is tared for rollerblades and trails

★★★★★ — Brad , May 2022

Very well kept up Park with the nature trail running across the north side of it. Great for kids to play and people that take their dogs for a walk.

★★★★★ — Ronald , May 2021

Smaller less busy park, with an ice rink, walking path, and open space. Equipment is fairly new but starting to get a bit old, and the house is falling apart a little bit.

★★★★☆ — Adam , Apr 2018
