Neighborhood Parks

Hickok Park 1.3 acres - 67th Avenue and SR 528 This neighborhood park serves residents of the Sunnyside area with a grass play area and playground equipped with a climber, swings and slide.

Foothills Park 11.6 acres - 58th Street Dedicated in April 1994, this park features a beautiful rolling landscape, nature trails, a tiered and landscaped detention pond, as well as a playground and picnic facilities.

Northpointe Fitness Park 28 acres - 71st Place and 71st Avenue This charming park tucked away in the Northpointe neighborhood boasts a forested playground, trails, picnicking areas, small athletic field and extensive natural areas for habitat viewing. And that's not all. In November 2009, the park got a facelift when nine fitness stations funded by an Activate America grant and new playground equipment were added by recommendation of the Marysville Healthy Communities Project. The park is a great jumping off point for the 1.6-mile Northpointe Park Walking Loop Trail.

Northpointe East Park 2.2 acres - 7818 70th St. NE This neighborhood park, located in the eastside foothills of Marysville, includes playground equipment beneath a canopy of evergreens, a half-court basketball court, a soccer kick wall and an extensive grassy play area extending north and south that will be the site of an extensive trail soon. The trail would extend north to 84th Street NE from the park, and eventually interconnect to the south with SR 528 (Fourth Street).

Verda Ridge Park 1.5 acres - 52nd Drive NE and 71st Avenue Amenities include Big Toy play structure, picnic tables, walking trail and the City's only full-court municipal basketball court.

Cedarcrest Vista Park

Tuscany Ridge Park 1.5 acres - Getchell Hill Road Tuscany Park in the Tuscany Ridge neighborhood on Getchell Hill Road provides visitors with sweeping vista of the Marysville lowlands and beyond from its grassy picnic areas, half-court basketball court, playground area with a unique climb-aboard pirate ship, and paved footpaths. The park was donated by the developer of the Tuscany Ridge development and opened in Spring 1997.

Serenity Park - 72nd Drive NE

Youth Peace Park 1.8 acres - 67th Avenue and Grove Street This park project, the brainchild of students from the Marysville Middle School Leadership/Life Skills class, is the result of the hands of many volunteers who came together in October 1998 for "Make A Difference Day," and built a special park. The corner park's main features are the gravel path in the shape of an enormous peace sign, a climbing wall, swings and picnic areas. The property for the park was graciously dedicated by residents in the adjacent Cedarcrest Manor South neighborhood, who signed quit-claim deeds.

Cedarcrest Reservoir Park

Harborview Park 11.5 acres - 4700 60th Ave. NE Unveiled in spring 2001, this community park located in the Harborview neighborhood in the Sunnyside area in south Marysville features a full playground, climbing system, spring toys, swing sets, basketball court, parking, and a youth soccer field and nature trail system. Barclays North Inc. dedicated the property to the City as a part of the new residential home development.

Deering Wildflower Acres Park 30 acres - 4708 79th Ave. NE Accented by thick forest, and an extensive trail system that weaves through ponds and wetlands, this passive 30-acre park is unlike any other in the Marysville park system because the City must preserve it in its natural state "for scientific, educational and aesthetic purposes." Those are the conditions under which the Deering Wildflower Acres Park was granted to the City by Western Washington University, which used to use the property as for an outdoor laboratory, and the Nature Conservancy. The City accepted the property in 1997. The park is open to the public weekends and holidays by appointment only June 1-Sept. 30 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and Tuesday-Thursday from noon-6 p.m. (closed Mondays.) Appointments can be made by calling the Parks Office at (360) 363-8400 or the Deering Wildflower Acres Park Caretaker at (425) 397-6325. Return to Top of Page
