Confirmed from Walnut Creek Community Regional 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 open during daylight hours, offering facilities for horses & horse-trailer parking.
What runners say about Walnut Creek Community Regional Park
“I’ve also grown up coming to this park so it has a lot of meaning to me 😎 beautiful place to ride your bike, have picnics, take hikes, and so much more!”
“This is basically a shaded wildenress park along a creek that follows a creek.”
The park is super beautiful. Great for walking and running, for relaxing. It's very helpful.
I haven't been here in year's & I'm so glad I decided to! I use to come here often 13 year's ago & decided to bring my son for the first time in 6 year's & he loved every moment! There's different parts/paths to it all, but we generally go where the Temple is. I love seeing all the people who go, including kid's!
Not really sure why it’s called Walnut Creek Community Regional Park... I’ve always known it as Bonelli Park/Pudding Stone Lake 💦 anyways, I love this park! I proposed to my wife here!
I liked it a lot...it was just me and my dog the entire time walking the creek trail, but I'm sure it was because it was a Monday morning. I'm certain it gets busy on the weekend as it's easy to get to
