We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of North Creek Meadow yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Park with public restrooms and picnic tables, plus kid-friendly hiking trails.
What runners say about North Creek Meadow
“My first time visiting this park it was a nice clean park we had a good time celebrating the all catholics 40 class reunion”
“Peaceful if you need to take a break to just go and 😌 relax”
Walking trail was empty. Flowering trees are in full bloom. Saw an adolescent coyote, a red fox, adolescent deer, 2 1/2 ft gray snake, big wabbit and too many squirrels to count. I hope I see you on the trail!
Just pulled in to do some stuff on my phone lol. It's a peaceful place though. Losts of open space and wooded areas. Didn't see the creek.
