Confirmed from Little Mill Creek South 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.

What runners say about Little Mill Creek South Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (123 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Great trails for running, walking or biking and the recently added playground is great for families with young children. The fields can be rented at very reasonable prices by going through the city of Lenexa website.

★★★★★ — Jamie , Nov 2016

Wonderful park for all ages. Something for toddlers through older children. Tall slides, swings, baby swings, zip line, walking trails, clean, new equipment, modern, lots of climbing, merry go round, mulched

★★★★★ — Mindy , Jul 2016

I grew up here and have always loved this park. I have walked biked and ran on those trails from the day they were completed. I still make the occasional trek down the trails for nostalgia.

★★★★★ — Adam , Jan 2017

Updated playground equipment and so much room for activities. Lots of trail around the park and through the woods to walk or run, and it's pet friendly.

★★★★★ — Jonathan , Apr 2017

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.

🚰 Water fountains

“Good shade, playgrounds for toddlers and older kids, water fountains, and more.”
