Briscoe Park

River Retreat

Positioned in the northern corner of Kent, Briscoe Park sits peacefully along the Green River, offering a little slice of tranquility in this Seattle suburb. Spanning 6.7 acres, this secluded area gives you a chance to escape the urban hustle with its quiet riverside views and natural beauty.

Straddling S 190th St, the park serves up that perfect nature-meets-recreation vibe we all crave sometimes. Tall, majestic trees provide generous shade within the grounds, making even summer days comfortable for hanging out.

Nature's Soundtrack

There's something special about spending time here - birds provide the background music while gentle river breezes rustle through the leaves overhead. Since it's nestled in Kent's logistics district, you won't find crowds or noise here - just a peaceful respite from the daily grind.

Briscoe Park is one of several green spaces scattered throughout Kent. The park welcomes visitors daily from 8AM to 8PM.

Get Moving

If you're into walking or running, you're in luck - the park connects directly to the Green River Trail, offering scenic routes that can make your workout feel less like exercise and more like an adventure. The spacious open areas are fantastic for throwing a frisbee, having an impromptu picnic, or even flying drones (which some visitors particularly enjoy doing here).

Early birds might catch more than worms - the river access makes this a favorite spot for fishing enthusiasts, especially during those quiet morning hours when the water is calm. There's something meditative about standing by the water's edge here, whether you're casting a line or just watching the river flow by.

Park Perks

Need shelter from sun or rain? The park features two covered picnic areas, each outfitted with a pair of tables - great for small family gatherings or casual meetups with friends. These shelters provide convenient spots to relax and refuel while enjoying those peaceful river views.

Dog owners, rejoice - your four-legged friends are welcome here with plenty of space to explore. Just remember to bring waste bags and water for your pup, as the park keeps things simple - which also means there are no public restrooms on site, so plan accordingly before your visit.
