A short, well-shaded loop with a bench at the halfway point is, for many walkers, the perfect spring outing. These five lesser-known creekside trails in Walnut Creek deliver exactly that — paved or gentle paths, a generous tree canopy, and reliable seating, without the crowds of Heather Farm.
1. Civic Park & Creek Walk (1375 Civic Drive). This downtown park sits beside the public library and follows the Walnut Creek waterway through habitat gardens designed in 1996 — home to over 130 native plant species and 25 species of butterflies.
