    Lord Hill Regional Park - Fresh equestrian droppings

    Yes, it's a park a very large park. Which is great, imo, because you have so many trails to choose…read morefrom and will mos def keep us coming back. The parking area fills up pretty quickly in the AM, especially on a nice day but there is also some limited parking on the road leading up to the lot. Also, there are two portable toilets at the entrance of the park, which is better than nothing. In regards to the trails, they are all pretty well maintained and decently marked. There are essentially two types: Shared with horse, bike, & foot and foot traffic only. Watch out for horse apples on the shared paths and the foot only aren't as well groomed or marked. All in all, highly recommend for family hikes because the terrain is not very challenging and it really is a beautiful park.

    I really, really want to rate Lord Hill higher than a 3…read more Pros: It's close, and I can drop by in the afternoons to avoid the masses. For as close as you are to civilization, it feels like you're up in the mountains when you're here alone. It's a nice park with a lot of variety. There are a lot of trail combinations you can make, and the southern end of the park is always less busy than the northern end. Cons: This is supposed to be a shared use park, but mountain bikers are not welcome here. So many off leash dogs. So many bags of dog shit left all over. Equestrians think they own the park- there is often horse shit on bike only and bike/hike only trails. It gets old having to dodge hikers on the few bike only trails we have; we stay off the equestrian/hike only trails, they should return the favor. Recently, I came around a corner on Rock Candy Bypass to find a large group of photographers set up in the middle of trail, occupying the entire trail and pissed that I was there, despite it being a multi use trail. If I didn't experience the cons every time I'm out here, I would rate the park higher. It's still a good place to take the kids, as it's not very challenging and you can make any number of small to medium size loops that are never too far from the car.

    I was told yesterday that I needed to come here today for a session of mandatory fun. Honestly, I…read moredon't know what this place is. I don't even know whether it's a public park. There are "no trespassing" signs all over the place and what appeared to be a private residence in the nearby area. Whether this area is open for just anybody to visit is still a mystery to me. But first, let's backtrack a little bit. This place is also in the middle of nowhere. I was told before coming here that it would be located in Snohomish. Shortly before arriving, however, I passed a sign that said "now leaving Snohomish," which seemed counterintuitive. So not only could I not tell whether this place is public or private, but I don't even know what city it's in. Fortunately, the problems end there for the most part. Well, the day was hot, but that's not a fault with this site. It's just a large patch of grass with some shelter and a few things to do. Not a whole lot of stuff, but I suppose this place is more fun than it would be if there were nothing here but a grassy field. First, a stream called the Pilchuck River runs nearby; it's shallow enough to wade through and not nearly deep enough to swim in, not that I would advise swimming in such water. The shelter provides for the opportunity to host barbecues. A volleyball net and a place for throwing horseshoes appear to be set up, though I can't guarantee they'll always be there. The bathroom is in a central location; it's a white building with green doors. The place is surprisingly clean and well-maintained considering its relatively remote location. Working faucets, soap, and paper towels actually exist at this bathroom. Overall, this park is fun to hang around in for a few hours, but it doesn't offer much incentive to stay any longer.

    American Legion Park - The reunion decorations had a special place to keep them out of the sun and elements.  On the other side of this wall are refrigerators.

    American Legion Park - There are twelve 9' long picnic tables - enough seating for the largest of gatherings using plastic tablecloths from the dollar store.

    After confusing the addresses for Lowell Riverfront Park and Lowell Park on Sunday 25 June 2023 and…read moregoing to Lowell Park, I decided to return and see if I could find Lowell Riverfront Park today, Thursday 29 June 2023. It is located south of Lowell Park and has a sign reading Lowell Riverfront Trail out front of an entrance to a large parking lot. The river is visible beyond a grassy area(s) and vegetation from the parking lot. A flat paved trail winds through the cover of trees and has picnic tables spaced out along its side(s). The grass was cut short on my visit today. A few people were making use of an off-leash dog area past one end of the large parking area. There was a watch out for bears alert sign on the trail and birds were out and singing. An assortment of small wild flowers were in bloom closer to the river. Water flow at the top of the river was slow and the bank of the river muddy. Even with a few people out and about around 10:40 a.m. on a weekday, the park/trail was tranquil.

    This is a nice little park with a walking trail along the Snohomish River. It's pretty small, so…read moreyou probably wouldn't spend hours here, and there's not a lot of deep underbrush, so it would not be high on potential dead-body-disposal options, but for a place to get your steps in or exercise your dog, it works out nicely. I'm subtracting a star because of the bathroom state. They have two (family) bathrooms which were just filthy pit toilets, swarming with flies and smelling like rotten feces. I would only take a shit here in the most dire of emergencies.
