Vashon-Maury IslandParks & natural lands
Vashon’s Jr. Crew Program
Vashon Park District – Naturally Fun Created by the residents of Vashon – Maury Island in 1983 -- works in partnership with King County Parks and the Vashon-Maury Land Trust to maximize resources and create recreational opportunities for Vashon-Maury residents and visitors to the Island while it protects the rural and natural qualities of Vashon-Maury Island. The Park District owns approximately 435 acres of land available for a variety of public use. Whether your plan is to soak up the scenery or dive into it, there’s probably a Vashon Park to suit your need. Try kayaking at Jensen Point; hike through a pristine natural preserve at Fisher Pond; play ball at beautiful Agren Park; or watch the sun set at Lisabeula.

Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust – Keeping Vashon Wild In 1989, a group of concerned islanders came together and formed the Land Trust in order to save a unique, and threatened island habitat - Whispering Firs Bog. True to its origin, the Land Trust is dedicated to preserving island wild places and sensitive habitats for the bene�t of animal and human residents alike. We have been instrumental in protecting over 1,600 acres of land - from large tracts like Island Center Forest, which o�ers the largest, multi-use trail network on the island, to small treasures like Fern Cove, which contains the estuary of Shinglemill Creek and is home to migrating salmon and shorebirds. The Land Trust recognizes that the key to good stewardship of our island home is people’s commitment to the land. We provide education and resources for land manage-ment practices, and partner with Vashon Park District and King County to actively steward and restore protected lands. Where it is consistent with our conservation purpose, we maintain trails in various preserves and encourage passive recreational use for people to enjoy a connection with the natural world. Thank you for helping the Land Trust take care of Vashon’s wild places.

King County Parks – Your Big Backyard & King County Water & Land Resources Division
work together to acquire and manage some of the most pristine and valuable ecological lands within King County such as wetlands, salmon habitat, intact riparian areas, shorelines and old forests.
King County Parks o�ers more than 26,000 acres of parks and natural lands, including over 350 miles of regional and backcountry trails, and more than 1250 acres on Vashon-Maury Island. With strategic grants programs, a volunteer program and by cultivating relationships with the island community and partner organizations, King County is working to enhance park amenities while reducing costs.

Vashon-Maury Island is located in Central Puget Sound, and was formed by the same glaciers that carved the Sound about 11,000 years ago. Surrounded by the natural drama of the Cascade mountains to the east, the Olympic mountains to the west and iconic Mt. Rainier to the southeast, Vashon is reachable only by ferry from Seattle, Tacoma and the Olympic Peninsula. The island is home to roughly 11,000 people in an area of 37 square miles. Vashon is approximately 12 miles long by 5 miles wide, ranges from 0 to about 520 feet above sea level, and has 51 miles of marine shoreline. Vashon’s residents and visitors enjoy a host of options for recreation and experiencing the natural world. The island boasts more than 30
parks and preserves providing athletic �elds, bike and equestrian trails, and water sport and boating opportunities for active recreation, as well as undeveloped natural lands o�ering excellent birding areas, beach access, and rustic walking trails for more serene activity. Keeping Vashon wild and naturally fun means that the island is a great place for all kinds of outdoor enjoyment and exploration.
