Confirmed from Timber 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.
City park with picnic tables, a playground, walking trails, and 2 metal bridges over a creek.
What runners say about Timber Creek Park
“I love to walk here, it has great shaded areas on those really hot days and a nice playground for my daughter to play while in try to loss some of these lbs.”
“It's a nice quiet park with with a lot if walking trails into the larger neighborhood”
We love this park. It has a really nice playground and a concrete path around the park. We do karate in the park on Wednesday when the temperature is under 90° and every Saturday morning it's not raining. The field is flat and dries quickly and there's lots of shade around the edges.
We love this park! It's just a 5-6 minute drive and has mostly everything we need (no bathroom). The playgrounds are in pretty good shape, some parts more used than others, but I have no issues with them. The turf is great and soft enough for when kids fall down.
Great park with something for everyone. Trails to walk, large open areas to create your own events, plenty of trees, shaded seating, playground, creek with bridges, and basket ball court.
Great park with a large grassy field for activities like soccer or karate meetups. Two different age levels of playground to keep your little and bigger kids entertained and separate swing sets too.
