This is a beginning compilation of such trails in the Puget Sound area, primarily concentrating on the Seattle-Tacoma metro area.

(FYI, since a lot of these are unverified, keep in mind the fact that a park has 'a fitness trail' could just mean it's a paved trail through the woods, and it might not have the stations. So until it's verified don't head to the park expecting to train.)

AUBURN | GIG HARBOR | MILLERSYLVANIA | PUYALLUP | REDMOND | RENTON | SEATTLE | TACOMA

---

Key:	- A good park, stations are in good shape, worth the trip. - Check it out if you're in the area, but it's nothing special. - Don't bother, stations are either gone or in real bad shape.

• Discovery Elementary - (verified Fall 04)
  'an 8 station parcourse facility' - there's a couple different spots for stations, not sure if they're meant to be the same course ... more like playground style stations for kids.
  HOWEVER, it's got the most KICK-ASS play set EVAR! ***pics to follow when I stop being a lazy sod***

  Located on Rosedale St NW adjoining Gig Harbor High School

• Cedar River Trail - (verified Sep-04)

  Renton Stadium parking lot, head towards the river

  This has all the stations in one spot. Pretty neat, and in great shape! [picture] [picture]

  And if you want a little more parkour to go with your parcours, across Logan Ave. along the path along the river is the Renton Senior Activity Center, which has some spots. Good luck getting the seniors to join in! :) [picture] [picture]

• Sierra Heights Park - (verified Sep-04)
  On SE 100th St between 128th SE and 126th SE, Renton, WA

  The opening sign gave me high hopes, since it was so official looking. [picture] But there were only four stations, and several spots where it looked like once had been.

  - balance beams [picture]	- push-up bars [picture]
  - step-up beams [picture]	- graduated posts [picture]

• Maplewood Park - (verified Sep-04)
  SE 138th St and 144th Ave SE, Renton, WA

  Cool park. Only 5 stations, and a blank spot where a 6th once was. But well maintained and fun.

  - Monkey-style rings [picture]	- Vertical bars (relive Donkey Kong!) [picture]
  - Parallel bars [picture]	- Monkey bars [picture]
  - Pull-up bars [picture]

  In addition to the parcours, there's a play area [picture] and a bridge with a lot of character [picture].

• Discovery Park - (verified Sep-04)
  3801 W Government Way, Seattle, WA

  This course is GONE! :( The lady at the visitor's center said they took it down over five years ago since all the stations deteriorated. All that was left was this index card packet they used to hand out to people who wanted to go on the trail. [picture]
  If you're feeling grass-rootsy, contact the parks department, because she said they have discretionary funds to be used for park improvements, and if enough people make a suggestion it can get done.

• Titlow Beach Park - (verified Sep-04)
  8201 6th Ave, Tacoma, WA
  From I-5S, take exit 132 to Highway 16W towards Gig Harbor/Bremerton. Go 4 miles on Highway 16, take Jackson Ave. exit. Turn left onto Jackson. Turn right on 6th Ave. The road winds around for about a mile, follow it down to the park near the water.

  Very cool course that's well maintained. Stations are fairly spread out so you can practice your sprinting in between. The main sign has names of the stations and a map. [picture]

  Tall post [picture] Angled vault bar [picture] Hinged log lift [picture] Parallel bars [picture] Balance beams [picture] Monkey bars over stream [picture]

  Step-up beams [picture] 3 mid-height bars [picture] Rings [picture] Sit-up bench [picture] Bench & posts [picture] Low parallel beams [picture]

  Additionally, the play set is _real_ sweet - lots of potential! [picture] [picture]
