Confirmed from Dudley Carter 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.
Modest green space named after a famous wood-carving artist with some of his work onsite.
What runners say about Dudley Carter Park
“Another wonderful visit to scenic Dudley Carter park!”
“The view of the river is nice and park has lots of shade in the summer.”
“Even though its next to the street, the walk from the parking lot I parked at was really lush and quiet.”
Wonderful scenery all through the trail. My phone is full of photos. Mr Dudley Carter's wooden carvings are just amazing. There are so many different types to trees and plants to look around. The river gives a calm feeling. Love walking here.
Very pretty park next to the river and a great place to stop at while on the sammamish river trail
Beautiful park. My absolute favorite part is the Haida House, I love the beautiful totems on the building. Its next to a river/creek and it was really calming to meditate here. Even though its next to the street, the walk from the parking lot I parked at was really lush and quiet.
Dudley Carter park is along the Sammamish River trail. Being close to the Redmond Town Center, it provides a good place for kids play and for adults to spend family time with a nice walk in the park while watching the wood carvings by Dudley Carter. The park's history is interesting. A nice place for a nice break.
