Confirmed from South Kitsap Regional 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.
A 209-acre regional park with hiking trails, sports fields, playground, picnic areas & a skate park.

“You can easily get lost in nature here and it's also family friendly and not overcrowded.”
05/20/23: we all love nature and honestly I am a big nature lover. I could find almost anything in this beautiful and spacious park. There are huge parking spots, tons of playgrounds, picnic tables/ benches, skateboard grounds, and even a big, fun explorer trail.
Love this park! It's close to home. I go walking here almost everyday. I paint rocks and hid them in the park and around the playground.
I have been going to this park for years & i have taken my son on to this park since he was a toddler. It has just improved over the years. My family has a few different favorite local parks that we enjoy on a regular basis & this is one of them. I love the Surrounding nature of this park & it's beautiful.
A nice park. Has lots of easier hiking and scenic trails. Also large grass filed for an arrangement of sports. A batting cage and a concrete skatepark. Also a large playground for children of all ages. But best of all a miniature train that you can ride Round the park on certain days
