Confirmed from Creekside 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 neighborhood hangout features grassy areas, walking paths, picnic pavilions & kids' play areas.
What runners say about Creekside Park
“A wonderful small shady park and playground with picnic tables, water fountain, grass, and access to Stevens Creek Trail.”
Nice little playground for kids 2-5yrs. A water fountain nearby, shaded picnic tables and an entrance to the Steven’s Creek trail. Cute little park. No bathrooms
Great park for toddlers and older. Decent amount of shade in the morning, there are tables with benches and it’s right off of Steven’s creek trail. I docked one star because the trail often is busy with bicyclists who don’t always slow down for the children in the park. It’s also not fenced in.
What a beautiful park! Bike trails and a wonderful playground. Picnic tables and benches for those who want to rest. Saw many people walking their dogs too!
Less crowded. Leads to a serene walking/biking trail. Very safe play area for kids. Adults can as well rest in the shades and the grass while the kids play.

“Nice park but some women take their children there and don't take care of them and the kids put sand from the playground in the water fountain.”
