Confirmed from Creekside Nature 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.
This 18-acre area of dense forest offers a paved path that runs along Eagle Creek & a parking lot.
What runners say about Creekside Nature Park
“When we went there hadn't been clean up at the creek side and there was construction being done on the trail, which was unfortunate.”
“Nice to visit there and beautiful places.”
Nicely paved path thru woods next to river. Path can cross under busy street to reach another park.
I went on Pack the Parks Day so I got in free. But the price is normally $5. The park is huge and there are plenty of trails, both long and short. The place is dog friendly and has some good shaded trails for hot days.
Beautiful park space! When we went there hadn't been clean up at the creek side and there was construction being done on the trail, which was unfortunate. But other than that it was a lovely and comfortable walk with clearly marked paths.
Peaceful. The 🌲 are beautiful smelling. Creek is Crystal clear. Amazing place. Thank you, whoever,for this path to happiness!
