Confirmed from Terrace 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.
Relaxed kid-friendly park featuring playgrounds, picnic sites and a terraced area for outdoor events.

Great open wooded space. Well maintained, trails, big hill, stairs, playground. A lot to do for families or just to get some fresh air locally.
Terrace Park is a great neighborhood park that provides movies & music Thursday’s & Friday’s. The back half of the park is terraced providing natural seating for these events. The upper portion of the park has a children’s playground, basketball court & paved paths for dog walking - the park even provides bags!
Cute little neighborhood park with mature towering pines, play sets for younger children: swings, monkey bars, paved paths, covered picnic area, flushing restrooms with water and air dryer, views of the surrounding foothills of the north Cascades.
Beautiful park setting with enormous tall cedar trees located in the heart of this small town. A great place to walk your dog, a pretty safe playground for the littles, and a nice stage for some outdoor plays with outdoor amphitheater seating!
