AWARD WINNING

King County’s award-winning Parks and Recreation Division offers 25,000 acres-worth of recreational experiences for every interest! In our 180 parks, you’ll find ballfields, playgrounds and pools, as well as lush forests, quiet meadows, and many other Northwest ecosystems.

You can also criss-cross the region on our 175 miles of regional trails and explore King County’s wild side on our 130 miles of hiking trails.

These public recreational assets and protected natural areas enhance our region’s quality of life and preserve this public lands legacy for future generations of King County residents.

"I just have to say a big THANK YOU to everyone at the Parks for all you do to make Cougar Mountain park such a GREAT place! We live near-by and are out there 3 to 4 times a week. The trails are all wonderful and exceptionally well maintained. We use the park to trail run, hike, animal watch, play in the stream, see the flowers – and generally just enjoy being together as a family in the woods."
