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.
This 14-acre park offers nature trails, playgrounds, a pavilion & picnic tables.
What runners say about Mill Creek Park
“Several clean picnic areas, play ground, tennis courts and great walking and bike paths around the whole park.”
“Beautiful Hill to climb and lake to walk around with trails in the woods for different views as you stretch your legs”
“The view of the creek is serene and peaceful.”
HUGE and well kept park with multiple places around the driving/walking loop to pull off and explore. A few of them have playgrounds, one has outdoor gym equipment, one has a path you can walk. There's plenty of parking and is a nice spot where you can have some space to yourself.
I enjoyed Mill Creek Park. I walked around the trails that go around the perimeter of the park. The trails were nice and well maintained.
Beautiful huge park. Several clean picnic areas, play ground, tennis courts and great walking and bike paths around the whole park. There's also a lovely pond.
Very nice and quiet park to walk around. The outer loop is almost 2 miles. I'd say over half the trail is shaded which is nice for when it's hot. The pond is a nice rest area and there's a good spot to look at the river.
