Confirmed from Ochoco 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.
Large park featuring a playground, skate park, BMX track and water feature.

Great open green space for the kids to run and play. Awesome playground to keep them busy. The skate park and the bike park are excellent additions to this well thought out space. My kids love it here.
Such a cute park. Lots for our little to do on the play structure and a huge field to run in!
