Nathan Chapman Memorial Trail, Puyallup
The Nathan Chapman Memorial Trail, named for a local Green Beret killed in Afghanistan in 2002, connects Puyallup’s South Hill Community Park and Heritage Recreation Center. The scenic trail cuts through wetlands and forests, offering plenty of shade on a sunny day.
Location: Access the Nathan Chapman Memorial Trail via South Hill Community Park at 14201 86th Ave. E. in Puyallup.
Trail details: The wide asphalt path is about 1.5 miles long. If that isn’t enough, add on the South Hill Park Loop Trail, a 1-mile loop that encircles the playground at South Hill Community Park.
Nearby: When you’re done, stop for a snack at one of the picnic tables and enjoy the playset. Or you can fill up with milkshakes and burgers at Out & About Burgers, a mile and a half east.
