Steele Creek Park

"Steele Creek Park in Bristol is a hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts! My family and I absolutely love spending time here for outdoor fun and exercise. The park offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and recreational activities. The walking trails are well-maintained and provide a serene environment for a leisurely stroll or a more brisk jog. The expansive green spaces are ideal for picnics and family gatherings, and the lake adds a scenic touch to the overall ambiance. What makes Steele Creek Park stand out is the variety of activities it offers. From fishing in the lake to paddle boating and enjoying the playgrounds, there's something for everyone. The park is also a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers. The amenities, including clean restrooms and well-marked trails, contribute to a positive experience. It's the perfect place for families looking to enjoy the outdoors, get some exercise, and create lasting memories. Steele Creek Park is a true asset to the community, and we can't get enough of the recreational paradise it provides!"

"This gem seems little but has so many fun things to offer! Some including fishing, a playground, splash pad, disc golf, nature center and also features a lake. I stopped here on a road trip to take a little break and stretch my legs. $2 parking isn't bad. This park is beautiful and clean. It wasn't too crowded and very peaceful. $1 each for paddle boats and the train (although it was down due to a mechanical issue.) I sat on a bench by the lake and just took in the serenity of my surroundings. It was very peaceful. A lot of wildlife. The two women staff I talked with were helpful and friendly. I look forward to visiting again and doing more exploring!"

"The trails are great. I feel like I'm in another world and it's Amazing. It's free to get in at the Mill Creek parking area, otherwise, if you go to the main entrance, it's only 2$. Totally worth it."

"It was worth the $2 parking although we mainly came to ride the train which was out of service. The man running it was friendly and another man/child wanted to ride it, they were in line in front of us and he said you are welcomed to go look at the train so we walk all the way over there but you can't even see the train because it's locked up. You can peak in the wooden cracks but my son couldn't see a thing. He also mentioned paddle boats but I chose not to (did not bring a life jacket for my son). Regardless we are happy we came down. My son enjoyed the splash pad, after warming up to it and wading in the creek. They also have a few playground areas which didn't really interest my autistic son because there was a lot of kids there so he was a little nervous. Oh and there is also a cool indoor area where you are look at live turtles, etc and a little play area for kiddos. All in all we had a great time and will definitely return again but will call ahead to check on the train operation. If you like to take photographs you definitely need to check out Steele Creek Park, it's absolutely beautiful here. In some ways, in a small way it reminds me of Stone Mtn Park back home in GA."
