Campus Park

Natural Oasis

Tucked away in Kent lies Campus Park, a 14.1-acre wooded retreat that feels worlds away from city life. Since 1982, when it was acquired as part of the French Field Renovation project, this natural area has offered a serene landscape and winding trails.

If you're looking to reconnect with nature, you'll appreciate the network of steep walking paths that meander through the dense woods. Regardless of whether you're after a peaceful stroll or an invigorating jog, these trails offer a great backdrop for your outdoor activities.

Getting There

You'll discover parking at the end of S 252nd Street, making it easy to access this hidden space.

What's on the Horizon

While Campus Park is currently a simple natural haven, there's exciting potential for its future. The park could become an even more valuable recreational resource for nearby residents. Its proximity to the Kent School District and Kent Meridian High School hints at possible partnerships that could benefit the broader community.

The City of Kent is interested in hearing what locals think about potential enhancements to the park. So if you have ideas about how this wooded sanctuary could better serve the neighborhood while maintaining its natural charm, there may soon be opportunities to share your thoughts on Campus Park's evolution.
