This is Maplewood's Deer Creek Park, not to be confused with Webster's Deer Creek Park, just across the creek in Webster. This park is more developed, with significant play ground equipment, restrooms, athletic fields, and a lighted ball field. This park is also known as Rocket Park, for the large rocket slide in the playground. Folks come from miles around to let their kids play on the rocket slide. The rocket slide was recently replaced with a new rocket, which is a bit more tame than the old one. Deer Creek Park is the site of the annual Maple Days Festival, with carnival rides and midway attractions, as well as other Maplewood community wide festivals. Deer Creek Park and Deer Creek Park are connected by a pedestrian bridge across Deer Creek.
