Confirmed from Bradley Lake 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.
Popular kid-friendly park featuring a playground, 1-mile-long lake trail, baseball fields and fishing spots.

“The park is dog friendly and kid friendly with a fairly expansive playground.”
One of the nice things about Puyallup are some of the local park. This is a really nice one. Very nice and clean playground right next to the parking lot, a 1 mi loop walk around the lake, and plenty of space to spread out on the grass if you can find a place that's not covered in goose poop.
Bradley Lake Park is one of my favorite places to go for a short walk. The main trail is just .8 miles, paved and wide. Then there are side trails for a more woodsy experience. I love to go there, especially when it's not too busy, and listen to nature.
Great remodeled kid play area! There are two separate play areas one for younger children that has a soft spongy ground cover. And one for older kids that has a variety of climbing activities in it. There's a bathroom for both men and women, but bring your own napkins.
Lots of parking. Nice paved walking trail around the lake. Children 14 & under or 70+ can fish.
