1/4 mile looping path in a neighborhood park.

The park has three entries.  The main face of the park is on 114th St.  Paths also enter the park from 38th Ave and from 116th St.

A neighborhood with a wide open field, and paths to walk around.  An easy place to make laps if you want.  You could choose different loops of the 2/5th mile of paths to combine for the distance you want to walk.  The tree on the north side is an intriguing presence.

The park has two entrances. The main one at 45th Ave and 126th Street and a side path from 126th Circle.

A brand new housing development, Pioneer East, has built a path to take a walk above a tributary to Gee Creek.  At the west end of the trail are two sets of stairs.  If you go up the stairs, you could walk through the neighborhood still under construction.

This small wetland area is set aside to provide a natural filter of storm water runoff, but it also happens to make a grassy path for a casual 1/2 mile loop walk.

You can park in the lot behind Wells Fargo, by the low fence.  Walk around the south end of the fence to follow the grassy berm through the wetland.  Then continue north past Les Schwab, along 192nd Ave around the wetland, then follow the grass strip between the wetland and the fence back to 34th St, and make the return to where you parked to complete a half mile stroll.

If you don’t mind the freeway noise, Beaver Marsh is a great place for a walk in the woods.  This area sits just west of Interstate 205 with a wide well maintained loop trail as well as a couple looping side trails.  Friendly neighbors walk the trail, but also the day I was there some kids decided to lay limbs across the trail to form obstacles.

The main trail crosses Burnt Bridge Creek twice.  Once over a nice bridge at the west end of the area, and on the I-205 culvert at the east end.

There are two entrances.  The main entrance at the end of 98th Ave and a trail connection at the end of 102nd Ave.

This small neighborhood park connects three separate neighborhoods along a quiet stream, a tributary to Whipple Creek.

The main park entrance is at NW 142nd St. The paved path crosses a foot bridge to NW 7th Place, where there’s a nice gazebo to sit in. Dirt trails also connect to NW 146th Way.

Named for a long time resident and community volunteer in Battle Ground, this park has a nice walk around the duck ponds.  There is about a half mile of paved paths.  As far as I know, Florence Robison is not directly related to me, but perhaps linked through distant cousins.  The duck ponds provide a relaxing sight to meander around.

In addition to access from NW 9th St, this park has connections to 15th Ave and 11th St and to 10th St and 18th Ct.

On the south side of the river, you can explore trails in the west La Center bottom lands.  During the right season, this is a good area to observe waterfowl, including a large flock of swans (from a distance) who winter there.  While the trail to the west is clear for less than half a mile, it does open interesting areas to explore.  I followed deer paths for another 1/2 mile.  It is interesting to explore some of the deer paths and beaver trails through this area.

A recently developed neighborhood park.  There is an interesting spiral walk as well as a forested area with paths.  The Google Maps images, sky view and street view, are all from before the park was developed.  There is access from 96th St and from 93rd St (although it does not look it in Google Maps).  As is typical of many neighborhood parks in Clark County, this one has a nice looped paved path, as well as an area of barkdust paths in the wooded area.

Another nice neighborhood park, with a 1/3rd mile loop walk.  The main entrance is on NE 124th Ave (Google street view is from before the park was developed) with access paths to NE 104th St and NE 102nd St or NE 121st Ave.
