Confirmed from Henry Jackson 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.
Tranquil park featuring frisbee golf and playgrounds as well as paved, walking, wooded and grass-lined trails.
What runners say about Henry Jackson Park
“Nice and clean park, good place to stop and relax!”
“This place is a peaceful place to take your family for picnics and frisbee golf.”
This place is a peaceful place to take your family for picnics and frisbee golf. There is also a baseball park and plenty of bike and walking trails.
Love going here, it's one of the original parks before Millennium park was built, and is kind of forgotten. If they could invest a little more on it, this little gem could be fantastic again. The disc golf community basically keeps this, park alive. Update Fun course, with a new back 9.
This has become one of my happy places. It is so beautiful, very few people, an amazing walking trail and a first-class disc golf course. It has several playgrounds for the little ones, as well as a baseball field.
We love 💘 this park! There are multiple swings and slides and playground areas , picnic spots and a challenging paved walking 🚶♂️ trail!
