Confirmed from McCollum Park Athletic Field'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.
A 78-acre park with wetlands, a forest trail & creek, plus a BMX track, playground & sports fields.
What runners say about McCollum Park Athletic Field
“The pool is wonderful in the summer, locker rooms are well kept and the pool is maintained beautifully.”
“This gem is certainly a beauty to behold even in inclimate weather with healthy forest, extremely beautiful flora and fauna!”
THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE NORTH CREEK TRAIL. IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON GOOGLE MAPS, SO IM USING THIS LOCATION TO REVIEW IT. MCCOLLUM PARK ITSELF IS VERY BLAND LIKE WHITE BREAD. I’ve been in this place hundreds of times. It usually does not disappoint. Now recently over the past year or so this trail has gone unkempt.
Solid place to go for a simple walk! Nothing too pretty too look at but it's definitely sporting a very zen atmosphere. Great for novice hikers and people with mobility issues.
It has almost everything that you're looking for. A trail, kid's play area, open field for all kinds of sports, ex. Perfect for any age!
I have been frequenting this park for most of my life in various manners. The pool is wonderful in the summer, locker rooms are well kept and the pool is maintained beautifully. The BMX track is fantastic to watch races at and I imagine a blast to ride.

“This gem is certainly a beauty to behold even in inclimate weather with healthy forest, extremely beautiful flora and fauna!”
“My dog and I were just passing through on the way to North Creek trail, but this park was gettin jiggy!”
“It’s a couple miles of stroll-able fine asphalt path which has diverse views such as apartment complexes.”
“I like the loop it's easy to do and lots of beautiful trees and shade.”
“But seriously this trail does lead through a nice forest, some apartments, a shopping center and a wetlands boardwalk which is great.”
