Confirmed from Little Fossil 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 tournament-quality softball fields, a playground, and a picnic area.
What runners say about Little Fossil Park
“But we dont need clean air i gess”
“Quiet and peaceful with ducks swimming in the waterway net to our picnic table.”
A small playground but good for children wanting to climb and slide. Little Fossil Creek is full of ducks and other birds and a concrete path allows easy access for birdwatchers.
That's where I walk my friends dog an we feed the ducks there also it's a great place to relax after working all day.
