Print Friendly MapThe Padden Parkway Trail provides a paved, 5-mile route across northeastern Vancouver, connecting neighborhoods and shopping areas. Trail-goers are separated from the busy four-lane roadway by a wide, well-manicured median. On its western end, a 560-foot bridge allows bicyclists and pedestrians to safely cross over I-205.
Parking can be found at Heritage High School (7825 NE 130th Avenue) on the trail's eastern side.
I’ve trained on this paved trail for years! It’s well maintained, safe, and doesn’t have crazy elevation. The pedestrian 205 bridge is the most challenging uphill, but it’s also good elevation practice without taking up too much of the path. Intersections are hit or miss, but the gaps in between are still good stretches of trail. A great urban trail if you live around here.
Very smooth trail with fun hills. Most of the view is of padden parkway, so that part is whatever, but it a good workout. The way back has views of hills. The bridge going over 205 seems unnecessarily tall, but I'm no civil engineer.
The trail is very clean I took my M3 65 scooter And road the whole trail very .It was fun . The people greet you there and wave to you was very welcoming.
I am new out here and liked the trail. It's very clean, mostly flat, and end to end and back provided a great bike ride. Lots of intersection crossings though and waiting for stop lights on your bike though.
