We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Creekside Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 pump track for BMX riders and skateboarders, plus baseball, volleyball and soccer fields.
What runners say about Creekside Park
“Track is in great condition and the surrounding park/area is clean and well kept.”
Nice community park next to a creek. New biking track and sand court for volleyball. Quarter mile trail that encompasses park which is good for walking jogging while kids are playing in the fields.
Gem of a trail. Easily the coolest trail running dog walking spot I’ve been to in months. Pet owners were great the river views and parking near the ball fields.
Was looking for access to the trail along plum creek. There is no place to park legally at that trail head, which is about 1/4 mile down the road. so we walked the little half mile loop around the park. It was okay. Looks like a great place for kids to ride bikes.
This is a great place to go for a short walk with your dog. There is a nice crick for them to play in too
