I’m biased because I live three houses away, but come on. This is a fantastic city park. There are walking trails, coyotes, owls, humans, a creek, some big trees, and plenty of flora & fauna. My personal favorite is the outdoor pool, open during the summer months.

This is a nice escape from concrete, but there were a few issues that left me wanting. I went the day after a fairly good rain, so keep that in mind, but it was pretty muddy in areas (see photos).If I were to go again, I’d avoid the trail along Main Street, since that was the muddiest and had the most road noise of all of the areas of this park.The middle of the park had some nice boardwalks and bridges, but also several stairs (more pictures), in case that’s something you’d like to avoid. There are also some great, wide, compact gravel parts of the trail.Pretty area and if you’re close it’s worth a visit.

Yost Park is a good size park for an hour walk, with lots of green cover, so you feel very comfortable in a hot day. Trails are easy to follow, well paved.

This used to be our usual park with the kids when we used to live in WA, we all loved it! Great memories! Reopen WA state! Keep America Great!

Yost Park is a nice park to walk on a trail in.The trail is a nice loop around trail.Good parking near the swimming pool.A nice slide and swing set is near the parking lot.

Would give 5 stars for being such a beautiful park & forest if it werent for the logging that happened in the early 1800s. Those trees used to be 200+ feet tall, it was a lush place. Let us regrow our forests

This park is great for walking, running, tennis, and swimming. It has a play structure for kids, but the park is mostly undeveloped woods with trails. Theres a stream that kids love to play in.

Easy walk but when rain, bring good hiking boots for grip. Beautiful with several hikes to choose from. There is no map on the site which is very odd! The bridges are picture perfect. Kids will enjoy the jungle gym and Park area. Trails surround Tennis and pool. Plenty of parking. Entrance to trails are not noted and very confusing as to where to begin but you cant go wrong going left or right, just go. Super easy and quick hike.

Canoes fun place to dance.and cool bands play.. Its pretty smoky though., I need my inhaler to breath..But its a great casino. Really love theBlazing Paddles pizza.. Really really GREAT

If youre burning up and need to cool down, Yost Park is one of the shadiest spots around. I dont mean shady as in shady business, i mean its a really cool park with low temperature because its surrounded by trees.

It was a very nice hike/walk it a loop trail and some parts are up hill. There is also a park, pool and basketball court further down.

A great, easy trail that is dog friendly and not too busy.

A good place for a walk in nature. Even though its in the middle of Edmonds, once you get on a trail its like being in your own little piece of wilderness.

Ive been going to Yost Park for years. Its an excellent place for a walk, especially during the Spring when the new-growths coming in. During the Summer, the trees provide plenty of shade.Theres also a small owl population living in the area. You can catch them sometimes during twilight.Theres a ravine that runs through most of the park. It can get pretty wet and muddy during rainy Falls and Winters. However, there are a couple of bridges to help keep your feet dry. I believe these were made by a local Boyscout troop at some point. I think theres an info plaque near the bridge that says who made it.All in all, I highly recommend going here, especially during Spring and Summer. Bring a friend or a pet! Though dont forget to clean up after your pet!

Dog loves Yost Park. So many smells.

Go for the trails and stay for the wilderness and animals. Love the creek and beautiful trees. My dog enjoys the maintained trails

Beautiful nature pathways,but awful reception there. Dont try to find pokemon here lol. Its worth a hike for the scenery though. Theres a pool and tennis court as well.

The pool is awesome in the summer. During the winter there is not much for kids here. There are some good dog walking trails. Tennis courts are in ok condition.

One of my favorite local parks.

I was attacked by owls other than that no issues

So nice, not to much for the kids to handle.

Easy, quiet and shady walk. Also dog friendly.

Very beautiful park, and well worth the walk down the trail to the water. Clean, clear water and very shaded for hot days. Beautiful native plants

As always, Yost Park did not disappoint. Its so green with lots of beautiful trees, ferns, lots of trails, but none too difficult. I personally consider it to be a nice sanctuary to relax and contemplate life.

Nice walking trail and older, but fun littke playground

Great for if you have an hour to kill. You can zigzag, or make a loop, it all feels like a mini forest, smack downtown tho. Your kids will love it. Theres also a swimming pool for the summer.

Grew up walking in this park & swimming at the pool. I love it here.

A place of fun and peace.

Small but nice

What a great park! It has just about everything - trails to walk with your family, tennis/pickleball courts and a public pool managed by the Y. It does not have a good play structure. You can tell it was built years ago and is not to code of other structures built in the last few years. This park is a family favorite!

Nice easy and moderate trails

This park is pretty cool, I wish the trails were open. My dogs love it here.

Some trails to run or to walk dogs on leash. Other amenities.

Not too crowded on the trails

A great set of trails to burn some energy off at

Love this park. It so quiet and serene. Great place to sit and relax, read or have lunch.

Beautiful gem inside the city. Very clean. I would love some picnic tables and benches for enjoying lunch or dinner.

Enjoyed the trails-even in the rain! Looking forward to coming back soon to explore more

The trails here are really nice x)

My favorite place to swim in the summer!

Amazing trails.

Good park

Kids liked this park as well as their top in lynnwood

Wonderful little forest retreat right in the middle of Edmonds. Park is open from dawn until dusk. Lots of little trails to hike around in. There is parking, next to the pool building and outdoor pool.

Just a couple minutes east of downtown Edmonds, this park catches one off guard with the amount of natural area it manages to tuck away within its boundaries. Yost does offer a community pool, but the rest of the park is a series of trails that wind through a hilly forest, at times following the stream that runs through. If you feel yourself yearning to get away for a nice hike or just wanting to spend some time out in nature, this park is an excellent choice if you dont have the time for an extended getaway.

Nice pool, great trails behind the pool for walk abouts.

I didnt even know there was a pool in the center of this big and beautiful park.

A great green space in the region. Nice hiking trails and the outdoor pool is delightful.

Its really niceHas a pool and a playground but it looks a little old and rusty.I suggest to go check it out.#Yost Park#Love Edmonds

Beautiful park. I play pickleball with friends on the courts. Great place to be.

Beautiful Scenic Trails right in the middle of the city

Beautiful

Serene little get away in the middle of Edmonds, (a community pool and park with a small playground)Seemingly always well kept by the community and a popular spot for a nature stroll, optional hill climbing, walking your companions. When im not sure what Im missing in life and want a close by place to think I go to Yost.Sights included but are not limited to, a runoff stream, bridges, an open straight path and denser windy paths connecting main Street and Bodouin*.Also probably a good place for bird watching there has always been a family of owls you might have the pleasure of meeting.

Beautiful and relaxing. Trails are well kept good workout.

Beautiful park in the middle of Edmonds. Do my walking commute from Esperance to Downtown Edmonds through here several times a week. Perfect way to start the day.

Small,nice,cozy!

Wonderful natrual park. It is full of surprises and beautiful scenery.

Verdant and fresh!

Nice local hiking trails one of the largest parks in the area

Its a public pool. Semi clean, but i suggest coming in the morning if you dont want the occasional leaf in your face. It is what it is

On a hot dau this is the perfect place for a walk through the cool forest!

Top 2 parks in the Edmonds area...the other one will remain unnamed as to keep its location a secret

Nice and quiet for a small woodsy hike. The playground is small but cute and everything seems up to date. Nice pool in summer.

Beautiful park with trails through the woods. Pool and grass/picnic areas as well

Great small park for hiking and playing Pokemon go!

Nice little neighborhood park with very easy short walking trails. Theres a tennis court, a playground and a pool.

Nice wooded place to walk the trails. There are many trails here. Its also clean and not poluted.

No handicap accessibility here. Otherwise great place.

Summer rates are good and cheapGreat hidden park swimming pool for family. A local treasure. Your child will have to take a swim test to swim in the deeper parts.

Nice park

Beautiful place

Lovely park, lots of trails. Swimming pool.

Nice little park. Cute, clean....But as for the port a potty which is the only bathroom. (Not complaining atleast there is somewhere to go! :) )It says to go see the superintendent for a toilet seat cover for extra $$$! You really have to pay for a toliet seat cover!?! I get they dont want them wasted or whatever. But to pay for one is lil ridiculous in my opinion!

Great trails, shell creek is beautiful

Has a basketball hoop, nice trails.

This is a great city park that feels like youre way out in nature. Its perfect for a short hike with younger kids, and you can loop around a few times if you want to get more distance in. I love how Edmonds has preserved some native habitat in the middle of their city.

Great place to jog.Start from Pine Ridge Park, then make your way down to Yost.The inclines are pretty intense, but nice trails overall.

Ive been walking these trails for years and it never gets old

Lots of trees, an excellent park to recharge and relax

Super pretty love it

Great park, wonderful wildlife birds, owls plants fungus who could ask for anything more.

Unique park on the Edmonds bowl. Views are excellent. Also home to a community pool.

Wonderful walking trails through a heavily-wooded creek-bed, public swimming pool, and even a small playground for kids. Its also a great place to park, relax from the daily commute, enjoy a latte from the nearby Ladros, and listen to music.

Lots still closed

I came on a sunny day in Edmonds and it was gorgeous. Nice park with good amenities and plenty of parking.

Lots of parking due to the pool on site. The trails by the pool are boring but there are some great spots farther down. Definitely worth a visit.

Nice wooded hiking trails within Edmonds

I love Yost park. Trail system is good. So picnic benches would be nice.

Neat little place to spend the afternoon

Nice hiking trails. About two miles worth of trails. Some trails are pretty steep.

Great outdoor pool

Its lovely and quiet.

Awesome! Love the trees here. The pool is wonderful in the summer.

Nice tall cedar and pine forrest , public pool, lots of trails and childrens playground.

The playground is small and outdated, but shaded. Lots of trails to explore and a nice shady trail system that is perfect for walking dogs.

Peaceful hiking area

Beautiful well maintained park with lots of trails suitable for all levels of walker

All of my magic mushrooms have been trampled or destroyed. Please learn to leave the lilguys

Nice shady parking nice park

The high forest is perfect on a hot day.
