Confirmed from Shamona 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.
Popular, tranquil park with a playground, a baseball field and a disc golf course.
What runners say about Shamona Creek Park
“This place is absolutely beautiful, well maintained and clean.”
The hidden secret park! This place is absolutely beautiful, well maintained and clean. Many reviews claim there is no playground. There 100% is a playground, swings, merry go round thingy etc. However there are no running toilets, but they do have porta potties.
Amazing tranquil park. Great soccer fields and fun playground for the kids. Nice trail by the creek. Basketball, baseball (and maybe a volleyball court too?)!
