Friends of Big Hill Finn Park
This is a non-profit organization established to assist King County Parks with the dissemination of information about and implementation of the park trails plan of March 2014. The mission of the trails group is to promote safe, sustainable, and multi-use trails within a healthy, natural environment while fostering relationships and engaging the broader community.
​
King County Parks has a representative at all General and Special meetings of the trails group to provide oversight and facility communication with King County Parks management.

Maps of the park trail system are in this excerpt from the master plan.
