It's inexpensive. It's beautiful and well maintained. It's a great place to bike and hike. It's close and has very easy access. What more could you want? More

This is just a wonderful place to go and spend the day. Admission is reasonable, so I have at times, after work, picked up KFC and taken my son to the park for a picnic supper. We love the cabins and trails and looking out on the water. Love the amphitheater and have spent many Sundays listening to groups or... More

Ventured here to kill some time on a Sunday afternoon...the bird sanctuary and earth center were great fun! Very helpful staff and if you go around 1pm on Sundays to the Earth center you get to see them feed the animals. They are fed once a week and our kids (3 & 6) were amazed at all the awesome creatures... More

Was here for a University rowing event in the morning. The course was nice, although we had to pay $5 a car for admission. Not a big deal, but we usually don't have to pay to watch rowing events. We came back later that afternoon to take a walk and visit the Ornithology Center. Although you cannot be guaranteed to... More

Eagle Creek is a great place to get a lot of the outdoors close to the city. The ornithology center located on the north end of the park offers a great overlook of the reservoir and great place to check out local birds. If you time it right in the morning you can get a chance to see some of... More

Our family (Dad and 2 boys age 13 and 6) visited the Park on a sunny Saturday in March, intending to use the several playgrounds and observe wildlife around Lilly Lake. We found the play sets well constructed and in good condition, and not at all busy. Lilly Lake had drawn a number of fishermen hoping to catch bluegill and... More

Really more like a state park, Eagle Creek has much more than you would expect from a city park: cross-country skiing, fishing, hiking, several picnic grounds, playgrounds, sailing, swimming, a nature center, and much more. Eagle Creek is well worth the cost of a membership for repeat visits. More

I enjoy going to Eagle Creek for the numerous activities that you can do there. First the hayrides in the fall are a must do. Included is firewood for a bonfire and a hayride that is full of hay. Our church has been reserving the hayride for some years now. The park is also wonderful for hiking, walking and biking.... More
