Cedar Park Featuring Base Camp

Cedar Park, Sandy's newest community park, is now open in the heart of downtown. The park features Base Camp Action Sports, offering over an acre of year-round hard-surfaced areas for skating and biking. A 1/4-mile concrete looped walking path connects Cedar Park to Sandy River Park and the Sandy River. Visitors can enjoy amenities such as a zip-line, climbing rock, hill-slide, spinning dome, swings, restrooms, a covered shelter and more.

Base Camp Action Sports Park, the premier feature of the new Cedar Park, IS the ONLY combined pump track and skatepark in the Pacific Northwest!
