Chambers Creek Regional Park Trails

There are many trails, some along the two-mile saltwater shoreline, with beautiful views from mountains to sound.  All the trails here are paved, so the area is ADA-friendly, and surrounding the golf course, beautiful views are evident inside the park and out.  Chambers Creek Regional Park offers an entire day's worth of activities for the whole family.

Soundview Trail (North)

Located in the northern part of Chambers Creek Regional Park, Soundview Trail connects to both ends of Grandview Trail making the two trails walkable as a loop. The trail winds from Cirque Plaza across the northern edge of the properties then descends through a portion of Chambers Bay golf course to Central Meadow. Here the trail turns to take you back up the hill to meet with Grandview Trail at 62nd Street Court West.

Chambers Creek Canyon Trails 


On December 17, 2021 a ribbon cutting event was held for the first bridge built to connect the City of Lakewood to University Place near Kobyashi Park. The Chambers Creek Canyon Trail project will include additional bridges that provide a safe crossing point for trail users as well as prevent environmental damage. Learn more about the Chambers Creek Canyon Trail project.

There are two short nature trails located within the Chambers Creek Canyon. The trails are primitive in nature and allow people to experience a true urban forest setting. Watch for our deer and coyotes, which call the canyon home.

One trail begins at Chambers Creek Road just south of the bridge near Chambers Creek estuary. This trail is approximately six-tenths of a mile long and ends at 91st Avenue Court SW in the Tiffany Park development.  The other trail begins at the City of University Place’s Kobayashi Park and travels west along the creek for approximately one-half mile. A side trail extends north from this trail to Chambers Creek Road West.

Future plans call for an extension of this nature trail along the canyon to Kobayashi Park near the Chambers Creek confluence with Leach Creek.  Once complete, the trail will be approximately two and one half miles long.  

The City of Lakewood, the City of University Place, and Pierce County are working together to complete the Chambers Creek Canyon Trail. In the beginning of 2017, the three jurisdictions released the Chambers Creek Canyon Trail Design Report. The Design Report provides details on the proposed trail route, bridge crossings, and trailhead locations.
