Little Prairie Park

A Neighborhood Gem

Positioned on NE 142nd Avenue just north of NE 76th Street in Vancouver, Washington, Little Prairie Park is a neighborhood green space that opened in July 2007. Though modest in size, the park has a certain tranquility about it - especially when the trees are in bloom.

Skate & Play

Got a skateboarder in the family? The park features a small skate spot where local riders can practice their moves. It's nothing enormous, but the hubbas with kickers provide just enough features for beginners and casual skaters to have some fun.

Kids will gravitate toward the play structure complete with a climbing wall and a pretty steep slide that never fails to elicit excited squeals. There are also some spinning play elements, but they could use a little TLC. One thing to note - the playground doesn't currently have swings, which would definitely make a nice addition to the space.

Simple Pleasures

Little Prairie keeps things simple when it comes to amenities. You'll discover a handful of benches scattered throughout where you can sit and watch the kids play or simply enjoy some fresh air. There's a single picnic table if you're in the mood for an outdoor lunch, and a lovely open grassy area well-suited for tossing a frisbee or just sprawling out with a good book.

Keep in mind that there are no public restrooms here, and parking is somewhat limited - typical of a small neighborhood park designed primarily for locals who can walk over.
