A creekside park is judged on its track, its shade and how close the path runs to the water. Paths near creeks can turn muddy after heavy rain, so sturdy footwear is worth bringing. Children near water need close supervision, especially where banks are steep. Regulars often visit early, when birds are most active and the paths are quiet.
For an easy family walk with birds and creek views in Albany, Lucas Creek River is worth a visit.
