Confirmed from Coyote 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.
Small, open creek-side park featuring a playground and walking trails.
What runners say about Coyote Creek Park
“Great little park with shade, a good number of benches, fun playground and a little merry go round”
Coyote Creek Park is somewhat a hidden gem as it’s not highly trafficked, contains a good playground for the kiddos and a sidewalk on the perimeter that can be good for walks and runs. A creek does run along the west side of the park so watch out for mosquitoes and bugs in the warmer months!
The park has very large open space, walk trails. It has 2 different slide sets for big kids as well as toddlers and shaded sitting for parents. Location is very proper. Only minus is, I never found any washroom near the park.
Nice park with wide trails that my dogs enjoy. Decent playground, which my kids enjoyed, and a peaceful setting. If you go during the right times, sometimes quite a lot of interesting birds out.
Very nice place which offers a great variety of activities for everyone: there is a playground, jogging path, baseball and basketball yards and a lot of greenery to have a nice picnic!
