The Red brick road Park is located about a mile west of Bothell off of Hwy 522 on the Wayne Curve. It is a 5 acre park with a picnic area and next to the Burke Gilman Trail. This part of the highway was paved with brick from Bothell to Lake Forest Park in 1913 as part of the Pacific Highway. In 1937 the highway from Bothell to Seattle became part of the Bothell Branch.
