Hiking Rainier Woods Park

Rainier Woods Park in Puyallup is a small, 9-acre park that offers several possible activities for visitors — including an off-leash dog park, softball field, basketball courts, playground and picnic area — and a small wooded area with short hiking trails that WTA has helped maintain. 

WTA worked here in 2024!

WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.
