Confirmed from Foster 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.
What runners say about Foster Park
Intersection of the Interurban and Green River Trails. Some open space and a nice spot to rest & have a snack on your biking or hiking journey. There’s a small parking lot making this a good access point to either trail.
Nice trails covered cooking can reserve close to 50 seating in covered area
One of the nicest date spots in Kent. Take your mate here, sit under the big willow tree, and get a how-we-fell-in-love-story to tell at your wedding. Or, y'know, just enjoy the wide-open spaces and play some football (American or soccer), walk around on the trail, or otherwise have a nice day out.
Nice place to walk, maybe go for a picnic, or just to lounge around. There are no bathroom facilities here which sucks. Sometimes there are questionable characters here, but they tend to stay to themselves.
Trail conditions & character
“There’s a small parking lot making this a good access point to either trail.”
“Only downside is no public restroom that I could see, which naturally limits the amount of time you'll spend there.”
