Confirmed from Elm 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.
Recreational green space with grassy fields, a large pond with geese, a playground & picnic tables.
What runners say about Elm Creek Park
“I can't tell you how many times other dogs run up to mine when I am walking them.”
Great walking park! Playground is still half shut down, but there is enough to enjoy. The tennis courts are in good shape, and there is a good amount of parking. There is several benches spread across the entire walking. I saw several people fishing not sure if they caught.
I remember going to this park in 2002 when I lived in Owasso, it was always welcoming and the pond, ducks, geese make it even better. Now fast-forward 20 years and still the same great atmosphere, improved playground and tennis courts... Great walking track for anytime of day.
Nice park with walking trail and playground. The tennis courts need to be updated but we use them for pickleball when all other courts are full. There aren’t lines for pickleball so they are harder to play on. It’s truly a last resort court so just know that ahead of time.
Elm Creek Park is NOT an off leash park for dogs!!!!! I can't tell you how many times other dogs run up to mine when I am walking them. Just because your dog is friendly doesn't mean mine will react that way. My dogs are VERY protective of me, and they are NEVER off their leashes while at this park.
