Marshall Park Trail

A low-trafficked, beautifully forested neighborhood gem, Marshall Park Trail is a short loop that can be extended or shortened depending on the endurance of little legs. There are limited parking options at the small round-a-bout that 12th Street dead-ends at. Often, there is parking available, as this park seems to be primarily used by locals coming in on foot. The trail provides multiple bridge crossings, gradual inclines and slopes, a out-and-back to a slow flowing creek bed with a large log crossing, and an excellent “base camp” area near the parking with picnic tables, a trash can, a playground, a nature play and learn area, and a low creek to jump in. It’s the perfect place to get a walk in as a family and bring a packed lunch for some down-time afterwards at the playground and tables.   Submitted by: Kristin Marshall
