Confirmed from Snow 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.
Picturesque, 7-acre recreation area with a baseball field, playground & rustic, fenced trails.
What runners say about Snow Creek Park
“Very nice and clean park filled with trees and live animals like ducks and ground squirrels.”
“Beautiful trees surrounding and a creek.”
“Love how it has little shade on top of the playground to protect kids and equipment from getting to hot.”
“Stream has some water in it so it adds to the peaceful Shalom walk.”
“Green lawns, easy walking path, and those pink mimosa blooms are stunning in summer.”
Very nice and clean park filled with trees and live animals like ducks and ground squirrels. It also has a small stream filled with Tadpoles. Not many shaded spots so I recommend coming here early morning for walking.
This place is great for kids! There's a little creek for the kids to splash around and explore, a playground, walking trails, a baseball diamond and picnic area... perfect little spot
Nice neighborhood park with baseball diamonds and walking trails around it with lots of shade. I really like how it's not the sidewalk but a separate trail further from the street with dirt paths that are easier on your joints.
This is a great easy hike if you want to go after work. Great scenery and there's a creek. I'm sure it's amazing after it rains. I only went around the loop because it was getting dark, however it continues. Definitely will do the entire trail in the weekend to see where it takes me.

“Stream has some water in it so it adds to the peaceful Shalom walk.”
“Bathrooms were open and clean with a water fountain out front.”
