Confirmed from Duck 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.
Relaxed spot for walking and biking featuring a playground and disc golf.
What runners say about Duck Creek Park
“Went for an afternoon stroll around the park to some beautiful sights and even better weather!”
I come here often. Great paved trails with pockets of nature. There's a disc golf course, plenty of areas to sit and enjoy the atmosphere, and e night workout circuit as well. Everyone I come across is nice and cordial. I feel very safe here.
The playground is nice and simple. A good stop along the trail if you have kids with you. Parks and Rec recently put a fence around the playground so it is safe.
Beautiful park with lots of trees and different wildlife! Trail might be 4miles long, I didn’t get to check it out though.
Beautiful park that has a lot of man hours put into it to keep the trails clean.
