Confirmed from Cedar Grove 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.
A playground, sheltered picnic tables & basketball court in a scenic park with towering cedar trees.
What runners say about Cedar Grove Park
“Great park that’s fairly quiet and well maintained.”
“Mostly in the shade for where the kids play area is which is nice so your kids aren't getting too much sun.”
“Cedar Grove Park sits in the middle of a quiet Bothell neighborhood.”
I love this park. The kids have a lot of fun. The trail is fun to walk as well.
This park is small but soooooo lovely! The huge pine trees are stunning and are a great use for much needed shade in the summer! The walking path is wonderful! The bathrooms are clean. There are lots of picnic tables! Great for families! And great for blackberry picking and apple picking! Parking is great too!
