Confirmed from Doleshel 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.
Former Christmas tree farm turned outdoor recreation area with walking paths & a wooden bridge.
What runners say about Doleshel Park
“Clean and quiet during the day.”
“Great dog walking, scenic, serine, well groomed, park.”
“Love this serene spot in the middle of Down Town Marysville.”
“It's dog friendly, has bathrooms, (though they were locked when we were there), and an ample parking area.”
Hidden little gem of a park. Trail goes around the (1/2 to 3/4 mile) perimeter which encompasses an awesome creek, a large meadow, and some gridded pines. It's dog friendly, has bathrooms, (though they were locked when we were there), and an ample parking area.
Love this serene spot in the middle of Down Town Marysville. You can still hear the road noise but when you step into the wooded area it becomes a low white noise and the sounds of crickets and bull frogs, birds and small mammals fills the air. Great for dog walking or a quick picknic and stretch brake with the kids.
It's a cute park not very big and not off leash either. We've got pugs so it's perfect for them to walk around as they need little exercise and they act like i ran them for a mile lol. It's shaded and it's not paved so on hot days it's perfect for their feet.
Nice small neighborhood park with a single loop trail and large open grassy area. Several benches in the grassy area, and a picnic table by the parking lot. There's a small creek with several bridges, thanks to an Eagle Scout project. Unlike what the trail signage indicates, there's no restroom.
