Tour: Forest Park (Everett)

Forest Park Recreation Center
Everett Junior College Vocational Carpentry students built this structure in 1961 to serve as a concession stand, following closure of the Forest Park Inn which sold snacks and gifts. The Recreation Department provides information to visitors, organizes and conducts recreational activities and events for all ages, but during 2020 and 2021 their programs were limited due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
If you would like to extend this walking tour, check out the large Forest Park Trail sign placed next to the Recreation building. There are 4.9 miles of trail in Forest Park, ranging from challenging to easy, through woodlands, on old service roads and boot paths.
Follow the concrete walkway which edges the east side of the main picnic area, just north of the Recreation Building.
