Confirmed from Cross 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.
Recreation on 54+ acres, with preserve area, playground, picnic tables & trail for biking & hiking.
What runners say about Cross Creek Park
Cross Creek Park is a peaceful little neighborhood park that’s perfect for a short stroll, relaxing under the trees, or accessing the Indian Creek Trail system. The connection to the trail makes it a great starting point for longer walks or bike rides.
Very nice scenic trail. However heavily used by speeding bicyclists, making for a challenging experience. During my short time on the trail, I was passed by at least 35 bikes. Some wizzing at about 25 MPH. One severely aggressive man shouted suddenly "on your right" when I was savoring a pastoral scene.
A nice little park for younger children. Well connected to the trail so can finish off a family walk with a quick play on the playground.
Walking trail was fun. Saw a deer. Playground is small. Kid's complained it was for babies but had fun any how.
