Past events

Volunteer Event at Blyth Park for Bothell Youth and Families

Hosted by Bothell Parks & Recreation in partnership with Washington Trails Association

When

Friday, April 14, 2023

Location

Blyth Park: 16950 W Riverside Drive, Bothell, WA 98011 (Directions)

About the event

In partnership with Washington Trails Association, we will be improving drainage near the trailhead at Blyth Park that has been devastated by standing water and mud. This trail system is actively used, and we want to restore the pathway by focusing on eliminating the problem of mud buildup and excessive debris causing poor drainage. To do so, we'll clean the area, drain the swamp, and then repair the damage to this iconic gem of the Bothell Trail System.

Who's invited

This event is for Bothell youth and their families. Youth ages 10+ are welcome with an adult. Ages 14-18 welcome on their own or with an adult. Adults must be accompanying a youth in order to attend.

Sign up!

Register here after you've thoroughly reviewed the trail work party details. Spots are limited and registration is required. Once spots are filled, registration will close.
