DennyFest 2026
August 15th, noon to 4pm
Our 30th Anniversary DennyFest features:
two fantastic local bands,
Reptile Man,
a raffle for great prizes,
a bouncy house and facepainter for the kids,
and the classic Dog Parade, food trucks, and firetruck!
To learn more go here.
*Know Before You Go:
The shuttle departs about every 15 minutes from the parking lot near the Over the Brick Store at the Inglewood Shopping Center.
Dogs cannot ride the chartered minibus, unfortunately. If you're bringing a dog for the Dog Parade, please consider dropping it off at the park with a member of your group, then driving back up the hill to park and take the shuttle.
If you're coming with a group of more than 3, please consider dropping some members off at the park and returning to park your car and take the shuttle. This will make the load on the shuttle more manageable for everyone.

Finn Hill Green Loop
The Finn Hill Green Loop is a long-term project to connect Finn Hill’s parks and green spaces into a continuous woodland pathway that will circle the crown of Finn Hill and ultimately connect to nearby parks and trails such as Juanita Beach, the Cross Kirkland Corridor and the Burke Gilman Trail in Bothell. The loop will be not only a local asset but a regional one as well, expanding the reach of existing Finn Hill parks and adding to a network of trails linking municipalities on the Eastside. Planning with the city has begun! Learn about the process here.
