Confirmed from Little Mill Creek North 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.
Clean park featuring a playground for kids, a zip line, picnic tables and soccer fields.
What runners say about Little Mill Creek North Park
“It features a well-maintained walking path and outdoor exercise equipment, making it perfect for both leisurely strolls and workouts.”
“The grass is well kept, the walking/running trails are awesome with beautiful scenery.”
“If you're walking and want the shade, stick to the main trail, the side trails to the north get very sunny quicky.”
“They have several slides of all levels.”
Super Fantastic Park. Great play equipment for children, paved trails that cover a decent amount of space and open fields for soccer, ultimate frisbee, whatever. Adequate amount of parking spaces. They’ve added bike rentals for the trails and stay on top of the restrooms, keeping them clean in spite of high usage.
I really enjoyed the Creek Trail with the E bike. It was quiet, peaceful great trails concrete, the whole entire way riding over bridges and through the woods was a great experience.
I like this park because it is very well maintained, clean, and down the street across from the school. Has walking trails and dog friendly. Its design is for older kids, in my opinion, maybe 2 and up. Nice area when not overcrowded and has public restrooms.
We absolutely love this trail! If you're walking and want the shade, stick to the main trail, the side trails to the north get very sunny quicky.
