Confirmed from Little Creek Park Office'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.

Sports fields, wooded trails, a disc-golf course & picnic area are the draw at this park.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 7 mentions

“A park that offers so much for every age group that have beautiful trails for your family and your dog.”

Cute and quaint little park with lots of parking and picnic tables, shelters, playground, and ball fields. Nice hiking or biking trails. The hikes are fairly easy with a couple moderate inclines. The creek is beautiful. There’s an interesting rock formation along the way. And down wildlife too!

★★★★☆ — Tj , Jul 2021

It's a real nice place! They got different shelters that can be rented out and they have bathrooms for each one! There's some pretty cool trails to walk and there's also baseball diamonds. Park seems to be pretty well taken care of.

★★★★★ — Jacob , Aug 2019

Jogging trails, biking trails, soccer fields, an Olympic pool, a good course, baseball fields, pavilions, outdoor basketball courts, even a Soapbox Derby track. Truly remarkable to me how much is available here. The trails are pretty much always open and beautiful, they're what I use most.

★★★★★ — Brian , Jun 2021

A park that offers so much for every age group that have beautiful trails for your family and your dog. Picnic shelters for parties or family reunions (i think you have to reserve) Soccer and baseball fields are always groomed perfectly.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
