Confirmed from Pates 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.
Park with a children's playground and a trail.
What runners say about Pates Creek Park
“It is very peaceful and tranquil.”
I enjoyed my electronic-free break here with my babies today. And I didn’t mind the 🍂 leaves. I guess being from the ☀️-shine State, I enjoy seeing a change of seasons. My 🐶 babies loved running thru the leaves as well, and course all the exotic smells. 🦌 🐿 🐰 🐦
This is a very nice and family oriented park, you can walk a trail down by the baseball field plenty of equipment for the kids to play on
Great place to ride bike go with family and have fun in the afternoons, the trail ends at a park were you can play basketball or jogg.
The nature preserve doesn't have its own parking but there's a few spots next to the playground. Short, paved trail by the river with bridges and overlooks. I enjoyed the rustic, run down vibes, lush with life on this beautiful April morning.
