Starkey Park

Truly one of the best parts of Zionsville. It offers miles of dirt trails for running that cant be found in many other places around. Wildlife is abundant as I frequently see deer throughout the park on many runs. And the park staff does an excellent job at maintaining the trails, reflected in both can absence of any trash or litter as well as downed trees blocking the trail being cleaned up very quickly. They have even mowed wider side paths and short detours to make social distancing even easier.

This is a hidden gem. A quick serene, relaxing, and enjoyable hiking trails. The main trails are nicely maintained. The trails are easy enough for young kids yet even the most experiences hiker would enjoy. If you have young kids, bring along a towel and let them enjoy several beautiful sections of Eagle Creek as they play in the water and learn to walk on slick rocks where they may Accidentally fall into the water. You may need some bug spray depending on the time of day and year you hike/walk/run the trails.As you walk near Eagle Creek, I find it hard to believe his little creek that feeds the large Eagle Creek Reservoir located within a few miles of the end of Trail #3.

Beautiful hiking trails, perfect to bring your doggies. Amazing landscape by the river with the bridge, great to take pictures!

Fantastic park, beautiful views.... A hidden gem

Nice trails and right outside scenic Zionsville. Great place for a picnic.

A great place for hiking and a great workout

A very good place for a family walk. The trails are around 2 miles if take the longest round 1-2-4-2-1. A lot of shadow with occasionally exposure to the sun. No many bugs when we were there. Will visit again.

Nice place for a hike, very aesthetically pleasing section of forest, and unlike some moderate to higher trafficked trails, this place still looks great. Its clean, well maintained, and you can tell most people stay on the trails and dont trample the undergrowth of the woods.

It is a nature preserve that is full of trails and wild life abounds.

Great park and numerous trails to enjoy with the family. Love being able to do some Creek stomping too!

I love this place so much! I am editing this review because the stairs are now fixed and awesome! I am excited to see what theyre doing around the Creek area!

Thus park is a beautiful slice of nature ! Love it!

Beautiful, peaceful, well marked trails! Most of the trail was shaded.

Great well kept park with enough trails for a few hours of hiking. Close to downtown Zionsville. Nice views of the Eagle Creek.

Nature trails are nice. Perfect spot to unwind.

Great gem of a park for easy hiking. Needs a bit more parking spaces.

Great little place to take a nature walk!

Large, diverse area with trails, some better than others as far as being marked and accessible. Water access and benches along some areas.

Great hidden treasure . Nice trails

Beautiful!!! The stairs are a great addition for safety.

Great trails that are clearly marked, not a lot of parking, lots of singing frogs if you catch them at the right time of day!

For a city park/nature preserve, its great! All trails are well marked. Great place for a short walk or hike with kids or the dog.

The trails are well marked and nicely done. None are very difficult so very kid friendly. Gives you great views of the river and also access to the Rail Trail.

Lots of wildlife and a beautiful creek

Nice easy trails

Nice little place. Not a lot of parking, but great for what I needed (took a quick nap between appointments).

A hidden gem off the bike trail.

Hidden gem in the middle of Zionsville! This is a lovely park with 5-6 looping trails that also connects to the Zionsville Rail Trail. Runners and dog walkers are common. This is on my way home and a great alternative to the dreaded treadmill.

Loved it! We will be back for sure!!

Really nice park, a little overgrown on trails but nothing too bad. They installed new stairs to replace the old wood ones. The bad thing is my dog is terrified of the grating.

Easy Fun trails. Great for family and animals. People also enjoy running it.

So grateful to have this nearby...a place of natural beauty, always...

I love Starkey Park, its huge and has lots of nice trails to hike alongside eagle creek. If you want a free alternative to going into Eagle Creek Park, definitely go to Starkey. Just be warned that parts of the trail often get flooded or very muddy.

Great place to nature walk

Great park and trails are awesome. Walking, hiking, running and biking.

AMAZING place!

Pretty pristine natural area.

Great place to get away from it all for a little bit. We like to walk our dogs, especially after it snows. Close to town, but you wouldnt know it once youre in the middle of nature.

Great place to go walking/hiking really nice along trail 1

Fly fishing parking lot at Eagle Creek. Its a long way from the lot to the creek. All up hill on the way back. Paved lot that i thought safe.

This is a great park with beautiful trails! One of the trails also connects to the Zionsville rail trail. We saw lots of wildlife during our hike here.

Well marked trails

Its a lovely park with lots of nice long trails. However its important to note that the trails are not stroller friendly and even some of the bridges and staircases are not child friendly as they are a bit beat up and unsafe for little ones. Overall its still a lovely park.

Great place to get outdoors for a few

Nice relaxing park with trails

Loved the wildflower planting along the power line and all the wildlife it attracks. And connecting to the RR trail is excellent!

Natural park with great trails

Excellent hiking trails here with some real elevation changes! This is a little-known gem!

Nice surprise.

The secret gem of Zionsville parks.

Hard to find/get to. Trails are quite muddy. Can hear interstate traffic. Nice long walk.

Beautiful! They need to re-do the 2 sets of stairs. They are rough.

Great park

Good paths

Beautiful park!

If you want to get down and dirty

Nice quiet spot.

This is my favorite place to hike in Indiana. I can get lost on all these trails in this park.

Nice quaint park.

Nice park.
