Confirmed from Pammel 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.
Wide-open park boasting a playground, T-ball goals, swings, and a creek.
What runners say about Pammel Creek Park
“Beautiful views of the bluffs and of the areas trees.”
A great little park right down the road from our house. We take our dogs there to run around in the open grass. There's a great little hidden path that goes along the road over a couple of bridges.
Park is decent, quite. We used the ballfields, they seemed in good condition, playground is small. I didn't go on any trails. Parking is limited when kids baseball games are going on.
This is a beautiful place to visit. It's not big but it is a beautiful place to just go and walk around outside and see mother nature as it really is
Calm and quiet park. Beautiful views of the bluffs and of the areas trees. Picnic area, playground, nice big walk path, soccer area
