Confirmed from Skykomish River 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.
Clean park featuring a jungle-gym-equipped playground, baseball fields and a dog park.

A great BIG day at the 2023 Wiggly Walk! Home made dog cookies taste best from Grace E. Rose Nose
A great little park. The equipment is new and clean. There is a paved exercise trail that encircles the playground. Picnic tables and benches are available as well as a covered shelter.
Nice park with a decent amount of amenities such as a dog park, baseball fields, playgrounds which include newly renovated toys. Picnic tables with covers and multiple benches as well as a hiking trail that goes around the perimeter of the park.
I went to my Grandchildren s' T-Ball practice. While there is parking for disabled, it's a long walk, on grass, to the bleachers. There is no easy access, frankly, for anyone. It's beautiful with shade and old growth trees around the open fields.
