Visit the Spring Creek Greenway today to experience the great outdoors! Part of the Spring Creek Greenway, the 25-acre Peckinpaugh Preserve located just south of the Grand Parkway, opened in 2005 with Spring Creek forming the southern boundary of the picturesque, wooded area. Named for the family that once owned much of the land along Spring Creek, this preserve offers one of the best views of Spring Creek at the Peckinpaugh Overlook. The preserve contains 2,385 linear feet or almost one-half of a mile of frontage along the banks of Spring Creek and a variety of natural habitats.
