Normally I’d give this park a good review as the park itself is great. I go on walks with my family and pup here every day and it usually looks so nice but I’ve noticed since early Feb. that it has been going down hill cleanliness wise. There is graffiti and trash everywhere and it’s very disappointing and odd that the dog poop bins have been removed. I feel that this will be bad for the park, since people can’t throw their trash away why would they throw their dog poop away when they can just throw it on the ground like everything else. Very disappointed in the cleanliness of this park.

Creekside Park is beautiful! They spared no expense with making it safe for falls as the ground is cushioned everywhere. They also invested in high quality slides swings and playground equipment. This is the type of park that you always wish was near your home. It’s surrounded by gorgeous tall mature trees that gives shade in the morning and the afternoon. There are multiple awesome gazebos with picnic tables to have parties or get-togethers at. It’s also really colorful and just beautiful to look at. My 15-month-old twins loved it just as much as my five year old. It’s also near a beautiful creek/river (hence the name Creekside) so there’s just a lot to do! It’s a great place to walk your dog also and just sit on a park bench and think about life. It’s the only park in a 30 mile radius that I always think of when I think of where I want to go hang out with my family. Highly recommend trying it out!

Super little park with trails and quaint creek to sit by. Lots of small trails. Located in a very nice little neighborhood. Great for small children with slides and swings. Definitely recommend stopping if you’re in the area.

Creekside park has everything. Adventurous and unique playground in great condition, soft padding to walk on, a large merry go round, an interesting/interactive water feature with water pumps and troughs and tiny rivers to create. No splash pad, but the small water pump feature is great for water play! Nice bathrooms, drinking fountains and shaded tables. Several shaded, lovely trails to explore around the creek and playground. The best place to go here is the creek. Go down the large staircase to the bridge and there's the most delightful, shallow, magical and shaded creek to play in and explore. I'll come back here with the kids just to play in this creek.

Such a neat park. There are so many different things to do here. You can play in the creek, play on the playground, picnic, there's bike and walking trails, and water tables. The parking lot is kind of tiny but you can park all along the street. It's such a unique park! There's nice bathrooms, boweries with tables and lots of shaded grassy areas as well.
