Confirmed from Deer 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.
City park with a trail and a meadow, plus apple trees and picnic tables.
What runners say about Deer Creek Park
“The Woodway community is a beautiful place to walk, with woodland preserves that feel like you're in a national park while still close to home.”
“It's quiet and the path itself is quite comfortable for walking.”
I’m giving this four stars, not because it’s not beautiful, but because it’s small and moderately difficult unless you’re fit. It’s mostly hills and stairs, but the trail is very well-maintained. Excellent place to go for a good glute workout!
Opened in 2016, Deer Creek Park is the newest (most recent) park to open in Woodway. The park's initial phase of 'development' includes a trail adjacent to the Deer Creek Park watershed. A trail that climbs to the meadow and a picnic area will be in future enhancements. (Pending available funds.
Really peaceful and beautiful trail. I saw a deer in the park. Due to the steepness of the trail, it may not be good for strollers or wheelchairs.
Beautiful foliage. We spotted an owl and deer on our walk. There is a little exercise park at the top too amongst a lovely orchard.
