Confirmed from Ferguson 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.

“Very quiet little park tucked in an evergreen glade on the edge of the city of Snohomish.”

Very quiet little park tucked in an evergreen glade on the edge of the city of Snohomish. Easy to forget you are so close to downtown. Large chunky plastic slides and climbing playground unit good for older toddlers and young kids. 2 baby swings and four regular swings on the swing set.

★★★★★ — John , Aug 2021

We live right between Snohomish and Lake Stevens and honestly this is my favorite playground out of both areas. Why? Plenty of space for parents to sit, AND the plentiful trees provide ample shade during the sunny months. For that reason, this is the best park for sunny days!

★★★★★ — Gabs , May 2025

My kids really enjoy Ferguson park! It’s not super huge but the equipment is sturdy and clean. There is a swing set as well as one of those things that your little ones can hold on to and glide down (I have no idea of the proper name!

★★★★★ — Amanda , Mar 2019

Great park with 4 slides which my kids loved. Better for age 5 and up but my 3 year old did it all too. Swings for little kids and big. Public bathrooms which is always a plus. It has a grassy area which is nice for running around playing baseball frisbee etc. Also has disc golf course around the park too.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
