Clarks Creek Park

THU 2025.09.18 ~06:45, arrived at CCCP. After a few minutes marveling the dawn lighting, i headed out for a walk (CW-Loop): the neighborhood, and back to CCCP. CCCP is well-maintained, clean and nice. And lucky me chanced upon the "Vegetable Garden" area - saw some amazing Nature small creatures, and the 'Balloon" plant (which the AI-Chatbot helped identified, and cautioned that: "All parts of the balloon plant, including the fruit, contain a milky white latex that is toxic if ingested. It can cause an upset stomach in humans and is considered moderately toxic to pets, potentially causing vomiting, diarrhea, and other more severe symptoms. It is a popular ornamental plant, and its pods are often used in floral arrangements." The neighborhood was generally nice, but for the litter on ~0.2 mi of "Open Spaces" waysides of (Brown Rd & W Sugar Creek Rd). Would be nice this receive some TLC 😅

Beautiful park with so many things to do and explorer. It offers different playgrounds, a splash pad, dog parks for small and large dogs, community garden, loops to walk, restrooms and lots of parking. Everything was clean except for the restrooms.

Very clean and active park. There is always a basketball game, or full playground, or tennis game going on. Today it looked like pickle ball. Great place to bring the family and enjoy some outdoor activities. There are nice walking trails that lead around the park. There is also a very beautiful garden that you can walk around or even enter. I had my dog with me so we didn't entire.

Great little nature playground. Has all the basics. We did have an encounter with an ant hill that was hidden in the mulch by the top of the slides. My boys tried to play on the rocks, not in a necessarily designated play area, so that was on us! No fault of the playground. Luckily, it was right before we were going to leave, so it did not affect our time there. (The photo was not where the ants were - the artificial turf on the hill was a good place to play with cars!)

This is a beautifully designed new park with unique play structures. There are two small parking lots, multiple tennis courts, a basketball court, walking trails, and bathrooms. The metal slides were too hot in the 90°+ heat, but the splashpad was refreshing. There are plenty of picnic tables and benches in shaded areas.
