Confirmed from Watab 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.
Grassy park boasting a splash pad, basketball courts and tennis courts.
What runners say about Watab Creek Park
“There is a nice covered shelter with several picnic tables, garbage cans, and clean bathrooms.”
“There is a bridge that passes over the creek onto a walking path in the woods <3 it is beautiful!”
This is a fabulous park located been the Mississippi River and Watab Creek. There are a few art pieces dedicated to the economic and social impact of the paper mill which was once running in Sartell, MN scattered around Watab Creek Park. My son really enjoys all of the equipment at this park.
Amazing! The playground had equipment that I've never seen at a public park, and there was a playset for the littles! Due to the watering ban, the splash pad wasn't running, but we went down to the creek to splash around and throw some rocks, and it was glorious! So beautiful!
No Benches along the creek, but a beautiful walk. Lots of covered area, splash pad, and great playground
Great lil park to go for a walk or bring the kiddos here to burn off some energy! 😀
