Scott Park — Attraction in Millcreek Township

This truly is a wonderful park in Erie. You get several miles of trails even the the park itself is not terribly large. In the center are baseball fields and pavilions for family events. Even a BMX course. All around are wonderful trails that vary in elevation but are mostly flat. This place is exceptional for walking, dogs and biking. There's even a fun exercise path that features "stations" where you can do things like monkey bars, peg walks, balance beam and more (although this has now fallen into disrepair). When you get to the peripheral, a gorgeous view of the Peninsula bay awaits you. Winter or Summer, this cliff-side experience is just great. The trails are well maintained and the area is kept fairly clean of trash, especially considering how many people frequent the area. Definitely a place to take the dog or kids any...

It used to be clean,...

It's a small park with dirt trails but it's great for a quick 20 minute mountain bike ride. It has a variety of terrain like wide trails or tight, flowy, single track.

It also has a pretty nice playground, a covered pavilion, and a "fitness trail" that features various stops with equipment like pull up bars, tires, hurdles, a balance beam, monkey bars, ect. Some of that is in need of reconditioning though. However, it's still a great park...
