I walk the 2 mile trail (twice) at this park with my husband 5 times a week. It's a very active park, lots of people running, walking, strolling ect. The trail is lit at night and there are tennis courts, ball fields, soccer fields, picnic areas, play grounds, several restrooms, a zoo and aviary. Really a nice park and there is always security present (HPD) so there are never problems that I have seen.
I have not been to Bear Creek for a really long time. I think that we should make it out there some day. I'm sure it doesn't look anything like it looked when I went there as a kid. 37 + years ago. Wow!!
Is there a group that walks the park on a regular basis. It would be nice to have someone to walk with. Even if it were once a week it would be nice. I walk around my neighborhood but the Bear creek park group would be nice. I use to roller blade the park when I was younger and had someone to do it with (kids).
This is a great park for the family. The kids don't seem to mind the distance around the trail. You get your excerise and the kids have fun.
I love this park and My husband and I go for a walk there when the weather isn't so hot.
The 2 mile trail is wonderful! This park is excellent! :)
