Beautiful park for walking, running, biking, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing and birdwatching! Paved and unpaved trails available. The nature center has a cool live owl you can visit and a special area for kids to enjoy. Many areas of the park are dog friendly, but please pick up after your pets!

As a wedding photographer, shooting weddings at Elm Creek Park reserve is a treat- There aren't a ton of venues that offer such a vast amount of nature! There are so many beautiful places to photograph in this park!

I wish the park had better directions for biking. Maybe have a beginning and an end. It’s like a big clover leaf. So it be nice to have them have a beginning and an end to make the most of biking.

What a great place to visit. This park/nature reserve is full of amenities for all seasons. The reserve is quite large so there are many miles of hiking/biking/ and horse riding trails. There is a giant playground and picnic area with a swim hole. They have a few camping options and an amazing nature center. There is an excellent dog park as well.

50 degrees on Christmas and day after the privilege is glaring at this patch of chemical snow. No color around . Elm creek Park does a wonderful job of excluding the general public. I teach in area and the population using your park is of a demographic that simple does not match the community. This are gives off a whites only vibe big time. It very white the people ALL THE EMPLOYEES. And the land. Coated in white chemical infused snow. Free for all says your sign. Except for the unpaid activities- those areas are marked closed. Free for all only if you have $$$ To buy skis and boots and poles To rent them Free for all- MUST PAY FOR SKI PASS.
