Confirmed from Schmid Family 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.
Dog-friendly park featuring a trail, grass lawns and river access.
What runners say about Schmid Family Park
“Its well maintained and clean, a big field to run around, and a trail down to the water.”
“Although this place is not crowded, I like the fact that you have an upper area where the grass is kept short and a lower area where you can walk by the river.”
Although this place is not crowded, I like the fact that you have an upper area where the grass is kept short and a lower area where you can walk by the river. I sometimes dog sit a dog who is not good with other dogs. This space is large enough that we can still walk and avoid any other dogs.
New park in Washougal. Looking forward to seeing what gets planned for it. For starters, a simple mowed path/trail around the perimeter for running/walking would be great!
Perfect park for my pup! He loves it here. Its well maintained and clean, a big field to run around, and a trail down to the water. I BEG the city not to add renovations; the park is perfect the way it is!
Great neighborhood park with plenty of open space, river access, and walking trails. It's well maintained, quiet, and a nice place to spend an afternoon. One of those hidden gems that makes living in this area even more enjoyable.
