Confirmed from Mill Creek Hollow'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 Mill Creek Hollow
“Shaded, water spouts, grassy patch for playing with children and pets.”
“Very peaceful and the little ones can run around or play on the playground.”
What a sweet, restful, green island in the middle of an concrete, urban sea! This hidden park has tables, playground equipment and just enough wandering paths and elevation changes for any child, 6 to 60, to have fun exploring.
Beautiful and small park. Have small children's play area with good padding. Have a small picnic area with two table in chairs and have some chairs on a walk-in trail.
The kids love it. We go almost daily. Very peaceful and the little ones can run around or play on the playground. 😆
Very pretty, children and dog friendly, play structure, a walkibg trail
