Fossil Creek Park

Park Information
Fossil Creek Park is designed to serve as an escape from the urban environment while still remaining close to the city. The park has sports fields and playgrounds, as well as areas for quiet and solitude. Fossil Creek Community Park has its origins from the 1996 Building Community Choices ballot measure. When "Choice City" voters approved the measure, funding for the 99-acre park was available.

Fossil Creek Park is a kid's paradise with its Tar Pits Play Area, Adventure Island, and interactive water feature. Adults and kids alike can enjoy the park amenities of:two lighted ball fields

  • a roller-hockey rink
  • a dog park
  • lighted tennis and basketball courts
  • multi-purpose fields
  • urban obstacle skateboard park
