The Campbell Tract is tract of (park) land controlled by the Bureau of Land Management adjacent to…read morethe Far North Bicentennial Park. Most people visit Campbell Tract to see the "technically" active 1 mile airstrip (kept operational for emergencies). As you weave in and out of the 12 miles of trails controlled by BLM, it's virtually impossible to distinguish where one park ends and the next begins unless you're really good at reading maps. It's a spaghetti of trails back there! In August and September this stretch of birch forest is especially beautiful with fall colors. High bush cranberries and mini dogwoods changing color, and lots of wild berries, mushrooms and other fungi provide a rainbow colors in all shapes and sizes. Be aware that black and brown bears frequent this area. One of my pet peeves in this area are rude hikers. Lots of off leash dogs and people who don't clean up after them. Also, hikers using the sled dog trails that explicitly designated as for them alone. There are gazillions of trails back here, but people always want what they can't have....

If you do not get lost, you are doing it wrong. Or maybe it's just me…read more The trails located around the Campbell Airstrip and Airport offer miles of intertwining trails. Walk em, run em, cross country ski on em, and if you really wanted to, you could get your sled dogs ready on these trails. This is another one of those areas where you need to be wildlife aware. There aren't too many "wow" or "super cool" spots to check out here. But if you are looking for a 'walk in the park' to get away, this could be your spot.

There's an inspirational pond with a few fowl flocking about. Nice views if your fond of water in your park. Campbell Creek subtly makes its way through. They've built a bridge with a wildlife observation deck. Pretty cool, huh? Some soccer and ball fields, but no one currently playing on them. A big highlight is the Waldon park playground...you know...for the kiddies. The Campbell Creek trail runs the length of the park and there's a location map posted for your safety and convenience. For me, it's a simple quiet piece of land to throw down a blanket and grab a guitar for an hour. The neighborhood could be nicer, but I had no issues. 08/23

This seems to be another one of those Parks that's mainly used by the neighborhood in which it's located in. The parking lot is gravel and pretty rough, and they've got to porta potties.

Elderberry Park got a recent makeover!…read more I've been trying to get my kiddos here all summer, but of course, with a view like this, the playground stays full. We were recently able to sneak in, early afternoon on a partly cloudy day. Score! Also only had my youngest in tow, score! She got to enjoy everything fully --no rush. Yay! There are benches, a more common swing set, another swing that is the highlight of this playground, a cool slide, climbing structure, pull-up climber and I believe a porta-potty, also. Highly recommend!

Nice walking trails, a bit creepy when moose are about. In the 20 plus years I have lived in this area, I have seen the trails become wider and more wore torn. Yet, the duck pond is very photogenic, the geese flying overhead are beautiful, and the bird life with the loons calling at night...well. Too bad I hate my condo. But the beauty of this place to look out upon is irreplaceable.

This trailhead is halfway between a "city walking trail" and a "hiking trail"…read more This makes it hard to review, as it's hard to know what other trails I'm comparing it to. As a city trail, it's one of the best. There is lots of tree cover, and "babbling brooks" frequently interweave with it. As a hiking trail, it's kind of a snooze. You *might* see a moose, but you probably won't see a bear. There aren't really any mountain vistas, either. It's a great trail to walk your dog after work or to go for a quick run, though.

Pretty great park!…read more Shocked that it wasn't reviewed (or even listed) on Yelp. I was here to shoot a kickball game and I had a blast! According to their website, they offer: Accessible play equipment for 2-5 year olds Accessible play equipment for 5-12 year olds Open playfield Sledding hill Softball field Sand volleyball court Picnic shelter, tables and benches Portable restroom available from May to September On-street parking I was mainly on the "open playfield". It's a HUGE field of grass big enough to play any game that involves a ball and friends. It's quite frankly odd that it doesn't come up as a huge block of green (as most parks do) on Google maps. There's a large pavilion that's great for cook-out's. If you want to get out and throw/kick a ball around, and maybe grill some meats...you can't do much better than here!

Right now, for the third consecutive year (maybe it's the fourth actually... its been going on for…read moreso long, Ive lost track) 42nd Ave is under construction. And its finally in front of Folker Park. And boy oh boy has the city utterly demolished some of the best things about this park. Accessibility path? Gone. Garden controlled by the community? Gone. Benches? Gone. Beautiful trees lining the entry path, including a VERY old spruce (probably about 100 years old, i couldn't count all the rings) GONE. I suppose some things may be replaced when they're done the project, who knows. But the trees that made our street so lovely are gone forever. When we asked for sidewalks, we only meant we needed them on ONE side of the street. I guess we weren't specific enough. Now we have sidewalks with nothing to look at but barren asphalt. Its like a mini Spenard. Sigh.
