Confirmed from Cross Creek Regional 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.
Public park featuring a playground, picnic tables, walking paths, soccer fields, and BMX racing.
What runners say about Cross Creek Regional Park
“There are bathrooms which are clean, water fountains to drink from.”
“It was such a beautiful day that day to go for a walk.”
Beautiful park. Not outdated like the other review stated. There are bathrooms which are clean, water fountains to drink from. Walking path around the playground to get some exercise while the kids play. Large soccer/football field, BMX bike track, pond with trails to walk around the pond.
Clean, well-maintained, and has bathrooms for everyone. Also, it's nice that it's close to some convenience stores incase you need to run and grab something.
This park was amazing! We had lunch here even though it was freezing outside and snow was new on the ground. I was shocked to find that the whole area around the restrooms was obviously shoveled right after the last storm (only a day ago!). The picnic tables were all free of snow as well.
Always come here for kids birthday party and let them run around and enjoy the day.
