Confirmed from Clearcreek 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 with a playground, ball fields, picnic areas, and paved walking path.
What runners say about Clearcreek Park
“Lovely little park for walking the four legged friends, playgrounds that are kept up, overall really the place is well maintained.”
“which makes it much nicer-- including having shade on a hot summer day.”
“Great quite park with a nice trail around the outside for walking the dog.”
Love Clearcreek Park. There is a great walking space behind all of the baseball fields with restrooms + if you cross the street towards the creek there is a small trail that leads you to a big open area along the creek with trails. We frequent this park with our doggos.
Nice quiet park. Was very clean. Had lots of porta-johns. So you didn't have to walk far for that. Had a small playground. Seemed to have a walking path and not quite sure what all sports fields they had, but you can tell lots can be done in this park.

Lovely little park for walking the four legged friends, playgrounds that are kept up, overall really the place is well maintained. Like going here for silhouette sunset pictures, the trees make for an excellent background. Good place to come relax.
