On any given day, there’s a lot going on at Farrel McWhirter Park, from horse riding to orienteering. Hikers will appreciate the trails that wind through the park and connect to even more miles of walking.
The main parking area has plenty of room and connects to the trails that wind through this park. To connect to Juel Park, exit Farrel-McWhirter at its NW corner on a trail that leads right into this second park. Another trail--the Redmond Powerline Trail--leaves the park at the same spot, but heads west for miles.
