Confirmed from Oak Creek Parkway 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.
Play area with swings and a slide, plus a hill popular for sledding.
What runners say about Oak Creek Parkway Park
“It's small, but it's a nice, quiet place to walk with the dogs.”
We have been visiting this park for the last 20 years with our children and now with our grandchildren. It’s a small park, but it has a walking path and a slope that we use for some amazing sledding in the wintertime.
Went sledding on the hill with my two and a half year old. It was her first time, and she loved it! I was shocked that it wasn’t more crowded. We can’t wait to explore this area when the weather turns warmer.
It's small, but it's a nice, quiet place to walk with the dogs. Rarely do you see anyone else there.
If you're thinking about going...Just go its fun great beach and a small trail
