Confirmed from Kress Creek Farms 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.
Rolling neighborhood park with a playground, pond, disc-golf course & walking trails.
What runners say about Kress Creek Farms Park
“While there are no bathrooms or water fountains there are portable toilets that are kept clean.”
“25 mile trail is awesome, with scenic views of the rolling hills and beautiful landscape.”
My favorite park and disc golf course. I used to work ten minutes from here and stopped by very frequently (like 3-5 times a week on average) to play and there was never, I mean NEVER a crowd. There are 18 holes. The first six are an extremely pleasant walk through the woods with a purpose.
Wonderful disc golf course design, well manicured and overall a beautifully maintained property. The park also has a big playground and long walking trails. The park district rotates pin locations and only continues to add improvements to the course every year.
I really like this course in early spring and late summer/early fall. Otherwise the bugs get pretty bad. The course has a good mix of elevation, wooded, and lengthy holes. It can be a little difficult to find your way around, so it's a good idea to take a picture of the map at the entrance if it's your first time.
The main feature of this park is the Frisbee golf course, however, the 1.25 mile trail is awesome, with scenic views of the rolling hills and beautiful landscape. The primarily gravel trail is in perfect condition. There's plenty of parking, a playground, and a few port-a-potties.

“If they add concrete tee pads, and change a couple of the more plain holes slightly, it'd be a must play.”
