Covered Picnic Area at Lewis Street Park.

Lewis Street park in Monroe is minutes from State Highway 2 and Monroe’s downtown area. Driving south on Lewis street,  it’s easy to miss the first left turn into the park, but there’s another, easier turn into a large parking area just before the bridge over the Skykomish river.  Lewis Street Park is fairly small but provides access to the larger Al Borlin park area.

Picnic table and swings at Lewis Street Park in Monroe Washington.

Lewis Street park itself has a small playground area with a low horizontal climbing wall, swings, and toddler swings.  It’s basically just enough to keep your kids occupied while you unpack the picnic.  Nearby are picnic tables as well as a covered picnic area and barbecue facilities.  There are also bathrooms with real plumbing.  We have generally found these to be usable but not smelly and likely to have spiders in the corners.

A wide path leads into the woods at Al Borlin Park in Monroe, Washington.
The wide paths are suitable for mobility devices when they are dry.

A wide pedestrian bridge (pictured at the top of the article) crosses Woods Creek and leads from Lewis Street Park into Al Borlin Park.  From here you can cross a grassy area to access the Skykomish River or follow one of the paths that lead deeper into the woods and occasionally pop out at the river again.  Many paths are wide, fairly flat, and accessible to mobility devices as is the bridge.  The ground can get very muddy during rainy times and is difficult for both foot traffic and mobility devices.  There are also smaller paths that wind though the underbrush and these are suitable only for foot traffic.  We have not found a path to the river that would be suitable for mobility devices.

A girl wades in the Skykomish River at Al Borlin Park in Monroe, Washington.
You can usually find a shallow area for a little wading.

The Skykomish river can run very high at times and has both motorized and non motorized boat traffic on it as well as fishing.  You can wade at your own risk near the shore, though the rocks can be uncomfortable for feet if you don’t have some kind of water shoe.  While you should  exercise caution, you can usually find safe, shallow areas near shore.  This is a very popular area on weekends in the summer.

Neither of these parks is a destination you’d go much out of the way for, but like Lake Tye Park, it makes a quick stop if you are crossing over Stevens Pass.  The main virtue of the Lewis Street Park and Al Borlin Park  is that you can be in the town one minute, and the next be in the woods or on the river.  You can have a quick walk, a picnic, or spend the afternoon with your feet in the river and the sun on your back.
