Cavalero Hill Park

Sal is a voice that rides along as you drive Washington's roads: the road ahead, the pass, the stories of the places you pass.

The park sits at 7708 20th Street SE, and for sixteen years it was a kind of loose end. Lake Stevens annexed it in 2009, but the county went on running it, because the city had no parks staff built up for the job of upkeep and development. By 2025 that had changed. The city agreed in May to take ownership, the county agreed in August to donate the land, and the transfer became official one day before a gathering in the park. A county official said the timing made sense, since Lake Stevens had a robust parks department by then. The dog park, skate park and playground were to stay as they are, with 8.5 acres set aside for something new. [1]
