Frontier Park was created in 1951 as a green space with a playground and tennis courts. Years later, in 1997, a local couple proposed planting trees in the park and making an arboretum. Over a thousand trees have been planted, trails have been developed, an amphitheater was built, and a labyrinth was created but the coolest things are the long slides which use the slope of the hillside as support.
The park is small. The paved trails are about a mile long which includes using the sidewalk for a short distance to make a loop. The gravel and dirt paths make a 1/2 mile loop.
Most wheelchair users will need assistance because Cascade Creek which runs through the center of the park is at the bottom of a valley so the trails all have up and down slopes.
Parking is limited. There's a small parking lot at the playground and tennis courts but the best place to park RVs is in the long pull out along 8th Street on the south side of the park. Arboretum 42.11556, -80.11649
