Confirmed from Mill 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.
What runners say about Mill Creek Park
Mill Creek is a beautiful park. Kids had fun on the playground equipment. We enjoyed the walk to find the library post with the rub of a plane.
This place is pretty nice. The walking path is paved. 3 laps equal a mile. They have 2 sets of pavillians and a large play area
Great place for friends and family to meet. Brand new park with many things to do. Let the child play or just take a relaxing walk. People seem very friendly .So if in the area stop by and take a look for yourself.
Great play area with a walking path for adults. Let the kids to play, and take a walk on the paved path. Playground is in site at all time from walking path. Benches all over path, and playground.
