Confirmed from Fossil 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.
Park with a playground offering a variety of swings and slides.
What runners say about Fossil Creek Park
“Would be great if the people who maintain the park could either clean it up or paint over it.”
Fun park. It's right next to where I live easy walk there and back. The kids I watch seem to love the playground.

The practical stuff
