Farrel-McWhirter Trail — Saturday, Jun. 28, 2025

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

This is a very small park in Redmond near the Redmond Watershed Preserve. PROS: a barnyard with real barn animals, usually surrounded by kids; pony rides for little kids, although that requires reservations (you can probably find a link at https://www.redmond.gov/288/Farrel-McWhirter-Park); an equestrian arena for bigger people; covered picnic shelters with electricity and running water; some play equipment, like tire swings; and several short, easy interconnecting trails. CONS: the trail marking is terrible, and the maps in the park seem to be different from the one in Urban Trails: Eastside. But the park is too small to get really lost.
