Not yet developed as a park, this site has a grassy field and a wooded area with some trails down to Whipple Creek.  It can be interesting to explore the trails, just a short distance.  Hopefully this site will become part of a connected trail system along Whipple Creek up and down stream.  A trail that parallels the creek to the North leads into what appears to be a neighbors back yard, even though by the map it looks as though this should be part of the park property.  Unfortunately there is no connection to the Whipple Creek Hollow area.

Small park with a dense stand of tall fir trees.  About 1/2 mile of paved and dirt paths.  In addition to the well maintained main park, there is a path that loops around the water tower, an area clearly used for BMX style dirt bike riding, and a series of dirt trails exploring the water bureau land.

This small neighborhood park includes about a thousand feet of paved path.  While there is an entrance on 162nd Ave, the only place to park is along 159th Ave.

The vacant property to the south of the park, looks to me to have potential for a future expansion of the park.  Perhaps it would be a good site for a nature trail and wetland restoration.  Right now there are several unmaintained trails that reach into the site, but not anything I would recommended exploring for a casual walk.  A concerted effort to clean up the litter and build trails could make this into an attractive nature park.  I would guess that right now it is being held for future residential or commercial development.

Named for the local farmer who donated this land for use as a park, this park has a nice loop path to walk.  When I visited, there were people walking dogs around the path, as well as children playing in the playground and a group shooting hoops.  The park can be entered from 99th St, 21st Ave near 99th St, 21st Ave near 96th St, or from 23rd Ct.  Keep in mind that Neighborhood Parks are meant to be easily accessed by neighbors walking from nearby.  They intentionally do not have parking for visitors from elsewhere.  If driving to this park, the best place to park you vehicle would likely be at the end of 23rd Ct.

This neighborhood park includes connecting paths that open up a larger walk.  After walking the loop around this park, there are interesting side paths.  A longer walk is to leave the park through the path to the north, turn right on 29th St, then left at the path opposite 172nd Ave, cross through the small traffic circle and visit the little forested private park at The Firs.

 Entrances to the park are on 172nd Ave at 31st St, on 34th St, on 31st St, on 30th St, and on 29th St.

At first this appears to be just a small park with a boat launch, but explorers and fishers can find primitive trails to follow both upriver and downriver.

The paved paths include an approach to the river that is a good place to watch

During high water season, the trails are flooded, but when the river level is low you can explore upriver along the shore, or a primitive trail which then loops back to connect to the field north of the park.  I have not fully explored the trail downriver, but it appears to connect to a peninsula on the river which extends over half a mile downriver.  Be prepared to climb over logs or other obstacles and pass through brambles with thorns.

It may seem strange to include a rest area in a list of areas to walk, but this area does have a couple nice trails to wander.  From the auto parking area, you can cross Gee Creek and walk a short path on the west side of the rest area through the small forested area between the rest area and freeway.  There is also a dirt trail partially along Gee Creek.  You can then go up the hill to the other side of the truck parking to walk a path along the east side of the rest area.  Making a complete loop of both trails takes you a little over half a mile.

One caution, there is moss on the paved paths that can be slick if it has recently rained.

This is a hidden gem.  A little forested park with paved and dirt paths to wander.  It is surrounded by houses, but has entrances on all four sides.  Enter from NE 149th Ave at NE 86th St, from NE 85th Circle, NE 145th Ave, or NE 87th St.

When I visited the park, there were fallen branches and a couple fallen trees from a recent wind storm, but Clark County Public Works was already on the scene working to clear the paths.

This is a very nice park with a 1/2 mile+ paved path around the exterior.  You can park in the main parking lot off NW 122nd St, or access it through a path further west on 122nd St or from 127th St.  This can be a busy place, especially during soccer season.
