This is a big park with plenty of hiking trails, but a huge new playground makes it a fun place to take the kids! We had our summer family birthday party here last August with all the grandkids - something for everyone! Bring insect repellant in the summer.

Great climbing/play area for young children. Clean, spacious picnic grounds. Man made swimming area with life guards. Bike and hiking trails that connect to other trails outside the park. Very clean and grounds are well kept. Lots of parking. Nature Center nearby. Frisbee golf nearby.

Since the new playground area has been added, Elm Creek Park Reserve is the place to be in the summertime. Both my teen and my 4 year old had a blast!

Winter, spring, summer and fall...not a better place to walk, run, bike or picnic. They have a nice man-made swim pond and beach and a big playground area for the kids. Tons of grills and tables.

If you need a dose of nature, just go to the Elm Creek Park Preserve and bike, hike or horseback ride. It's huge and the topography consists of rolling hills, forests and little perfectly beautiful lakes.

Elm Creek is simply great. It has it all. Absolutely awesome mountain biking, a huge off-leash dog park, great paved trails for biking/running/roller blading, sledding hill and I can go on and on. All done first class. We spend many days and hours at Elm Creek and it never gets old.

The trails summer and winter are amazing. Lessons offered during the winter are perfect for beginners. Tubing and skiing are both great winter options. Of course, the manmade sand beach and new amazing playground make great stops in the summer.
