Franklin Park

Reviewed By Crich70

Beautiful park and a perfect place to let kids run, play with the dog, or just walk around after eating at the soda shop next to the museum. Its tranquil. I'm surprised that more people weren't there.

Cowiche Canyon Trail

Reviewed By 330MB - Redmond, United States

Beautiful, relatively flat (except for the cool side trails to the top of the canyon walls), and peaceful 6.5 miles roundtrip. Great bridges over the creek/stream. Birds. Supercool rock formations. Wonderful easy hike for kids.

Reviewed By WAMorningGirl2019 - Green Valley, United States

Love my morning walks adjacent the Yakima River. I have stayed at a hotel on the greenway. My dog and I start our day walking this trail. We share the path with lots of families, bicycles, and other dogs.

Sarg Hubbard Park

Reviewed By CATXWASteveG - Yakima, United States

What a great spot! A real amenity to residents and visitors. A great spot to park and launch walking or biking of the Greenway, and a really pleasant time to spend time. Plenty of space for kids to run around, plus playground. I don't know what the lakeside amphitheater is used for so I look forward to hearing from other reviewers.

Disc Golf Course

Reviewed By CATXWASteveG - Yakima, United States

This is a really good outdoor activity. Right now, March 2020, when so many of us are looking for outdoor activities that don't involve travel, I was glad to try this one. The disk golf course doesn't take up the whole park, this is on the western side so use the parking lot off of 48th. The entrance and parking lot over on 44th is more for the playground and duck pond.
