Confirmed from Bridger 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.
What runners say about Bridger Park
Great little out of the way park. Has a short hiking loop that follows the creek. There are a couple of picnic tables along the was as well. There are two handicap parking spots that are concrete and one spot that is dirt. The creek itself is beautiful.
They are currently working on a new walking area, easy access for Walnut Creek. I love bringing my dog here to play in the water, they have an easy concrete spot off the trail to get over the bank to the water.
Nice little Park tucked into residential area near Millcreek Mall. Nice stream access for cooling kids play. Not large Park, but decent walk if you do the loop several times. Little table ,but no facilities.
Nice place with good view of walnut creek. Good place for walking and sitting.
