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.
Wooded park featuring nature trails, a boardwalk, and canoe/kayak access.
What runners say about Creekside Park
“The area is filled with muskrats, carps, and beautiful singing birds.”
Love this place happened upon it from a work thing. I absolutely love it and the nice serene nature. The boardwalk is nice and lots of animals and insects. Beautiful place to go and journal, run, walk and kayak. Will definitely be a go to place. 🥰
The new boardwalk is very nice. It's not completely finished, but it works. The creek supports a lot of birds, especially ducks and red wing blackbirds.
This park is a hidden gem next to Methodist Hospital. It’s perfect for a walk to view nature and enjoy some fresh air.
I’ve lived near here for almost 4 years and it is my favorite part of living in this area. The walking path takes you around different parts of the park and makes it feel like you’re aware from the city for a while. Love seeing the little critters around being able to breathe in nature for a bit.
