Confirmed from Johnstone Park | Leased by the City of Oak Creek'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.
What runners say about Johnstone Park | Leased by the City of Oak Creek
“Perfect place to walk w my dog, clean and nice to go around a few times as it's not a huge trail, but it works well”
Nice little open air park behind Cedar Hills elementary They have a few tables to sit at & enjoy a meal The kids can go play on the playground attached the school It's just a few feet from the picnic tables They connect in other nearby trails You tend to see lots of folks walking their dogs along the trail or just out…
Not too much to say - it's a nice little park. Clean and quiet grounds. Was there for a small softball tournament that my daughter was in. Everything in good condition with no garbage anywhere. Nice place to walk around.
We go running on the path that circles this park, and we enjoy seeing and hearing the wildlife living in the pond next to it. The track is a little under 1/2 a mile long ... I think it come out to .45 miles or something
