Upcoming Events!

Please Take Note...

As of now, we are no longer able to offer parking or access to the old entrance to 360 Trails. We apologize for any inconvenience. In 2019 we gave up our rights to use 144th St. NW to access the old trail entrance, and due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we left it open for more access to 360 Trails.
Public use of this road is no longer permitted. Please use the Gateway Park parking lot and trailhead to use 360 Trails.
