Confirmed from Pleasant Valley 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.

Plenty of space for kids to run around and play! I loved that there was access to the park on both sides of the road, so that the kids could keep exploring. Nicely set up playground.
Really nice and very pretty, lots of shade. Cute dinosaur themed play ground, but currently parts of it are broken/boarded up. Other than that, pretty park in pretty area.

Great parking offset from the road. Handicapped spot, playground, access to walking paths, and tons of shade on a hot day, it’s a great park.
