Playgrounds

COVID-19 UPDATE:

Playgrounds/playground structures are now open but are use at your own risk, as they are not sanitized. Please sanitize hands before/after use, do not use if you are sick and maintain social distancing. The spray pad at Willis Tucker Park remains closed until further notice. 

For Snohomish County COVID -19 response visit our webpage.

There are plenty of playgrounds within the Snohomish County system.  They range from a few minutes entertainment to an all-day adventure--guaranteed to have your kids dragging their heels when it's time to go.  We've rated them from 1 to 5 stars for "fun factor" and provided suggested ages, restroom availability, and when they were built. 

Important:  Suggested ages are for comparison purposes only.  Parents are responsible for supervising their children and assessing their child's ability to safely navigate all aspects of the play structures (prior to play).  Please, no unsupervised children over the age of 12.  

Note:  Playgrounds and structures are added/updated on a continuing basis.  Please bear with us if images and descriptions are not the most current.
