Confirmed from Bobby McGarraugh Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Bobby McGarraugh Park
“Its quiet and not many kids play there now as far as I know”
I love this park. I thought it was called Cherry Street Park but that doesn't matter. It's great. Has two levels with two small playgrounds. Both levels have picnic areas and one big covered tabled. There are short but fun trails on the hill. Only one restroom but it's always cleaned and stocked.
Been coming to this park for over 30 years, my family loves it. Fort Worden is right down the hill. It is beautiful.
Fun things for kids to climb on. Some steep trails. Tire swing is my kids favorite
