Confirmed from Mansker Creek 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.
Low-key space with a circular path, a playground and picnic tables.
What runners say about Mansker Creek Park
“Fantastic place to visit, very clean.”
“This is a good place to go and reflect, it’s quiet, peaceful, and relaxing.”
“Great small park with a 1 mile paved trail (great for strollers, scooters, bikes, and all ages).”
I love this trail. However, there are some Jesus freaks that just love to put their bible thumping quotes in chalk all over the park on the sidewalk. Not everyone is religious, so please stop trying to preach to people that don’t want to see it.
Mansker Creek Park is a pretty little Park in North Goodlettsville. It has a playground and a one mile walking track. It is flat and easy to walk. The center is grown up and looks like it could be developing to attract birds. The track also has some access to Mansker Creek so you could wade.
It's a short circular path. You can get between 1,500 and 1,700 steps per circle. It has a jungle gym for kids and a covered picnic table area. Definitely a nice little park. I go there to keep my step count up!
Nice large park with a creek, swings, playground, and beautiful old house and replica fort. Beware- the summer of 2012 my 4-Runner driver side door handle and keyhole were vandalized and ruined while we were in the creek. It was after 3:30 pm when not many people were there.
Trail conditions & character
“The playground is small, but there is a shaded pavilion and an excellent one-mile paved loop with partial shade.”
“This is a good place to go and reflect, it’s quiet, peaceful, and relaxing.”
“There’s a covered shelter where you can do a picnic lunch and a porter potty for bathroom.”
“Great level walking trail with ample parking and pavilion”

The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- SurfacePaved — asphalt or concrete. Fast and predictable, runnable year-round, and fine with a stroller
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
