This is a pretty big park with ample space for everyone. I love how theres different pathways you can take instead of it just being a single loop around the lake. I think this used to be a smaller park and they have extended it to the forested lot beside it thats why it became bigger. Good for a short walk and picnic within the city. There are benches where you can sit and I think it would be nice to have picnic tables here too.

Enough trails to spread out, the lake is pretty. A bit of nature in the middle of town.

Great place with plenty of open space for my Siberian Husky to prance around like a gazelle in the tall grass. Loved it.Dima B.

130 acres of rolling land surrounded by cookie cutter homes on Kent meridian Hill. Good for pets. Feels like a nature preserve.

Very good light trails, lovely lake views, though the trail isn’t a complete loop. Much of the surrounding neighborhood isn’t very pedestrian-friendly.

Love running the trails here. The grass is always well-kept and trails are clear. Only wish that there was a trail to make a complete loop. The views from the dock are always lovely too!

Even in the pouring rain this place is beautiful. We were able to get some great photos between cloud bursts. It is a wonderful pocket of nature.

Very scenic and the air is so fresh and feels like you are in country somewhere but you are still well within the city limits of Kent.

I took my dog for a walk here a few days ago. I was pleasantly surprised at this trail. The lake is beautiful and the trails are fun to explore! The only downside is that my dog is white and he got super dusty walking these trails. No big deal, I would definitely go back!

One of the best dog parks to go. Beautiful and relaxing. This park has 2 parts. On the right, nice and wooded. On the left, open field. A nice park to get away and just listen to the wind.

Review №33

Beautiful and super large park with a lake in the middle. The lake is not the kind you swim or boat in though. Its just adds to the beauty of the park. There are board walks and bike trails and its very popular to walk your dog or go geocaching. No play equipment, but tons of room to run!

A gorgeous hidden gem in the heart of the Kent East Hill. The perfect place to walk the dogs or take the kids exploring. Light terrain, easy little hike. Loads of little trails, small creeks, a small lake, benches to relax and a marvelous view of Mt Rainier. Highly recommend

Its a beautiful park. Dogs are supposed to be on leash. I often see large dogs off leash with their masters on cell phones. Coyotes live in the heart of the park. I have seen them occasionally. People need to be mindful.

Review №44

Beautiful park. Loved the many trails and little lake. Definitely a hidden gem where you done feel like you are close to a city at all. The only downside is there are less than 10 parking spots so on a nice day you have to park across the street at a church and there is no crosswalk.

Beautiful park, no restrooms only reason that its getting 4 stars instead of 5.Wonderful walking trails, you can bring your dog. But please pick up after them, several people dont, watch where you walk.Cute lake in the middle of the park with a dock on the north side.Small parking lot, but they will be expanding soon.

This park is a hidden gem in the center of Kents East Hill. Great views, dog friendly and the trails are easy to navigate. The park is roughly a square with only 2 parcels not yet owned by the city.

Great trail for solo running or running/walking you dog. i ran it with my double jogging stroller and discovered that this trail is not made for that type of activity. i still enjoyed myself and so did my kids. the trail was well maintained, there were no vagrants. Just a few people walking their dogs. There was a cop posted at one entrance so it looks like the park is gaurded. I saw no trash anywhere at all. I did see a family of ducks on the water and they came right up to my son and me. The water is fun to check out too. The surrounding neighborhood was also lovely and well maintained, seemingly.

A peaceful place in the heart of chaos:) This calmness of this park makes you forget about daily tensions for a while. Good place for a short walk not really big that hikers can run. The loops are way too short.

I love this park. As a kid I would always come here with my dad and walk the dogs. As a teenager I explored the abandoned barn with friends, rode mountain bikes on the trails, and even had my first kiss out on the dock under the moonlight. Lots of good memories :)

Love this park. Its a not so hidden treasure. I just started going here and wished I had known about it years ago. Great trails, tall trees, small streams that my toddler can push his trucks through and a lake for a quiet minute of reflection.

Review №68

We have visited Clark Lake Park for many years with 3 generations of dogs. Over the years, the park has expanded, adding and improving trails.Parking is still limited, with a small lot on the North side and only a few spots on the West and South sides. What the park lacks in parking, it makes up for with a great overall layout and trail variety.

Nice park to walk your dog. No paved trails and very basic. There is, as the name suggests, a lake. Or possibly a really large pond. Labs will love it.

Ive been going to this since I was just a wee lad and it never fails to amaze me in any season. Theres a short round about thats about a 20 minute walk or the full walk which is probably 40 minutes but you end up with a beautiful view of Rainier if you walk to the west entrance(there is no parking at the west entrance or I would say park there). Well worth checking out.

Clark lake has some nice trails to walk your dog along with a nice lake in the middle. If parking on the north side is full try the West or South side.

Pretty good park nestled in to the backside of east hill. Lots of acreage means lots of room. Trails, fields, lake, birds.... And not crowded like some of the other well known/used parks in the area.

It is a nice place to take a walk, certain trails/areas are a little wet at times. But rural style trails in a non rural area, makes it quaint, along with the new dock, and lake to stand and enjoy, with some benches along some of the trails.

We love to walk here and check out the birds, ducks, dragon and damselflies. Great view of Mt. Rainier, trees to climb, hills to run across, pond to splash and rock skip. Some people have complained about sketchy people, drugs, etc. I am there a lot and have never encountered not seen such issues. Also a wonderful spot to pick blackberries!
