Running along the city's northeast boundary, Cherry Creek Trail is a gentle 1.13 km soft surface path that provides nice views and access to the creek below. The trail is most easily accessed from McBride Street or by parking nearby John Howitt Elementary School.  Heading eastward, the trail crosses Cherry Creek and runs along an open meadow where deer and other wildlife can be often seen (**please note that this is private property). An easy loop can be made by simply crossing the bridge along Cherry Creek Road and walking back through the Grieve Park neighbourhood.

There are a number of benches installed along the main trail that provide ideal resting spots or to simply relax and take in the views over Cherry Creek. This trail is popular with both dog walkers and bicyclists however, there are some steep grades near the creek crossing at the western end.
