Our family has been enjoying Creekside park for 15 years, from when our children were little and played on the playgrounds to when they ran cross country, and played baseball for their schools. It's a large park, and a wide variety of activities can be enjoyed here. Locals schools play their team games here, including baseball, soccer, and cross country running. There are also tennis courts, disc golf, and docks for small boats on the river. Private parties may reserve covered picnic areas for functions. Multiple playing fields, and many playgrounds with a wide variety of pieces of equipment. Restrooms at the beginning, middle, and end of the park. Water bubblers. Spacious for walking. Great for all ages, and pets. Hours are posted at the entrance.

I go to this park several times a week when I walk dogs from the nearby animal shelter. The park has numerous playgrounds, pavilions. tennis courts, ball fields and a nice spot on Brices Creek. It also has a 1/4 mile walking track.

This is an amazing park that is well kept with something for everyone! There are many fields with team sports constantly playing; tennis courts; several playgrounds for young children as well as older kiddos; multiple picnic shelters; nice restrooms and a lovely dock down by Brice's Creek. Parking is plentiful and bathrooms are located throughout the grounds.

The speed bumps are so tall I couldnt get my car in, my car is not lowered and isn’t a very low sitting car from factory, really wanted to play some disc golf but had to leave because of this! I would say unless you have over 8 inches of ground clearance don’t risk it

Good for getting the kids out of the house. Lots of room to run, bike and play. Decent playground for the smaller kids, swings and other items. Couple of spinny things, one a little better for small kids than the other. You might lose kids off both though if you go too fast. Infant swing. Shades set up over sitting areas for the parents. Only complaint would be the lack of working water fountains.

This park is amazing and wish lived closer. Its a kids dream come true. Has everything. We went down to the dock for a little bit then drove back up to the colorful playground and spent a few hours playing before having make a few hour drive home. I have also never seen a wheel chair sqing before and wish other parks had one too.

There are a couple of playgrounds here to choose from. The first one you see as you come into the complex is a kid's dream. Bright colors and lots of run, jump, climb, slide potential. It's great cushioned ground around makes the trips, slips, and tumbles easier too. The pavilion can be used and reserved. It's also home to soccer and baseball fields so there's generally a lot of activity going on. This is a nice place to get some wiggles out or burn a couple of hours.
