Confirmed from Holly 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.
Neighborhood park with a playground, picnic tables, a clay track, and batting cages.

“Nice park for the kids, the soccer field is perfect, and there is a walking/running trail”
“10/2019: It has a big kid and little kid swings/swing set in the playground and tables in the shade, which made it a great park option for today.”
Update 04/18/2023: hey everyone, correction on the restroom; I went to the park again and the restroom is not yet open. Update 04/10/2023: Still beautiful as it was and there has been a few changes. The ground floor for the playground has been changed to a flat, soft, bouncy floor which makes it less hazardous.
Great park to have dogs run around and play structure for younger kids. I think there is a water fountain to drink out of. I rated it 4 stars because there is no bathroom.
Perfect area for my puppy to run! And the playground is great... But it does get pretty hot with that recycled material
09/2024: Note to self mostly 🥴: There are swings for children and kinda good enough for adults to swing on.😬😁 The surface of the playground is a comfortable, padded surface to walk on.
