Parks and Recreation

This 1.26 acre park at the corner of Tupper Road and Sandy Heights Street includes an asphalt basketball court and a play structure for younger children.

Sandy's developed parks, grounds, trails and open spaces are maintained by two full-time employees and a seasonal worker employed during the summer months. The entrance features at the east and west ends of the one-way couplet and landscaping at most City facilities other than City Hall are maintained through contract with local landscaping firms.

The Tickle Creek Trail is approximately 1.8 miles of wooded, scenic trail in the heart of Sandy. It follows its namesake creek from the Barlow Ridge neighborhood (on Dubarko Road just west of Highway 211) downstream to the Tickle Creek neighborhood (just east of 362nd Avenue). It generally runs parallel to Dubarko Road (south of the road, except for a segment east of Reich Ct. extending east of Melissa Ave.). It includes five wooden bridges over Tickle Creek. Please see the map, below.

Sandy River Park offers a natural outdoor experience right in the heart of town.  The former Douglas fir forest was sold to the City in December 2001, and at 127 acres it is one of the largest publicly-owned parcels of land adjacent to the wild and scenic Sandy River.
