Looking for a trail you can walk with a stroller, or maybe just a walk that the whole family can enjoy? We’ve rounded up some favorite South Sound options featuring paved, stroller friendly trails.
Note-While we enjoy all these trails, we do want you to use reasonable caution; don’t leave valuables at the trailheads-even for a minute! Read on for the list, and be sure to check the comments for more!

If you’re looking for a trail with a view, this is the spot. There are 5 trails to choose from, ranging in length from 0.5 miles to 2 miles. The trails are primarily paved and easy to traverse with the most basic stroller. Get more info on this hike on our post on South Sound Rainy Day Hikes and Trails with Kids.
Spanaway Park Trail
Take a 3 mile walk through beautiful Spanaway Park. While the trail is only partially paved, you should be able to traverse it in a decent stroller. You’ll enjoy views of the lake, wetlands, and rolling hills. Be warned, there is also an awesome playground at this park that your kiddos will insist on checking out.
Cushman Trail, Gig Harbor
Near Gig Harbor? The SFM grandma recommends Cushman Trail, a paved, but non-motorized trail that’s perfect for beginning bike riders. Wide paths and multiple bathrooms along the way! There are multiple access points along the trail, including 96th St NW, Grandview, Hollycroft and 14th Ave NW. Check out the site to see a map and choose the spot best for your crew.
Nathan Chapman in Puyallup and the Ruston waterfront in Tacoma (including the playground and Sicilian bakery at Point Ruston) are my favorites.
