Edmonds has a wide variety of parks. I'm sure you will find a park to fit your personality somewhere in the many Edmonds Parks. From underwater parks to large undeveloped areas with trails, to dog parks, to parks with play equipment for young children, there's something here for everyone. The parks are listed below in alphabetical order. Most are located in Edmonds, although a few are located near-by, but outside the City of Edmonds.
Edmonds ordinance does not allow dogs in many of the city parks. However, eight City of Edmonds parks are open to dogs and their handlers on the designated trails only. Both leash and scoop laws are strictly enforced and must be observed when using these Parks: Yost Park, Maplewood Park, Pine Ridge Park, Sierra Park, City Park (southeast wooded area only), Mathay-Ballinger Park, Seaview Park and South Marina Beach Park where dogs are allowed off leash in the Off-Leash Area.
