Small playground, unfortunately all exposed to the sun, making it hot and hard to keep little ones out long. One bench and one picnic table allow for mini gatherings, but bring a blanket and there is space enough for everyone! Friendly neighborhood as we were kindly and respectfully greeted by a teenage boy walking through, along the one path. Ample street parking! One paved path from the street to the playground, through the grassy expanse, with a fork towards the break in the fence, presumably for the homes/neighbors. Great, cozy spot for a road trip break!

Tucked away…read morein a peaceful setting, the garden offers a cozy, quiet escape with meandering walking paths, gentle streams, serene ponds, and even a few graceful koi fish gliding through the water. A charming little fountain adds a soft, soothing soundscape to the experience. Though seating is limited, there are a few well-placed benches where you can pause and take in the calm surroundings. The zen garden areas feature carefully raked sand, textured stones, and layered designs that invite stillness and reflection. You'll also find stone pagoda-like statues, stacked stone towers, and miniature trees that complete the traditional Japanese aesthetic. It's a lovely, peaceful retreat--perfect for a slow stroll, quiet contemplation, or simply enjoying a moment of calm. While it's not large, its thoughtful design and serene atmosphere make it well worth the visit.

On a weekday afternoon, we had it to ourselves and were surrounded mostly by the sounds of nature. It is also another immaculate space. I'm really impressed by the city's careful cultivation of its green spaces. The disc golf seems a bit better than at Blue Heron mainly because the playing space doesn't overlap with the people lounging space. But you have to play entirely unshaded, so mid-day summer games are out. There's only a dock, 2 picnic tables with no grills, a restroom, and a nine-hole disc course. No playgrounds for the kids. There is also only a modicum of shaded areas. No real room for large gatherings unless people bring their own tents and chairs. However, I really enjoyed it and left with a desire to return again to enjoy the relaxation.

We stayed for two nights at Pothole Camp, and from the very first morning (Saturday), the entire…read moretrip was just horrible. First issue: Someone thought it was a genius idea to hang a wasp/hornet trap right in the middle of two campsites -- ours and our neighbors'. Saturday morning, we woke up to wasps swarming all over our tents. At first, we couldn't figure out why until we spotted the trap in a tree, literally buzzing with activity. My husband went to the ranger station to report it, but no one was there. About an hour later, a ranger finally showed up and moved the trap -- by that point, our kids hadn't even been able to leave their tents. Once that was dealt with, I started cleaning up all the trash left behind by the previous campers at our site. Later that evening, while we were having dinner, our older daughter was stung by a bee. Speaking of trash -- let's talk about the lakes. We visited multiple spots around the lakes, and honestly, it felt like flashbacks to dirty California beaches. Everywhere we went: trash, broken glass, diapers, beer cans, baby wipes. Floating in the water. Tangled in plants. Scattered across the shore. My daughter was in the water for maybe 45 seconds before she cut her foot open on a shard of glass, and we had to go back to camp to pull it out. None of us even got to swim. And this wasn't just one spot -- we tried three different lakes and five different locations, hoping for a safe place for the kids. Nothing. We are never coming back. People can say what they want about western Washington coasts and lakes (the weather, the crowds, whatever), but what we do right is keeping our beaches, parks, and wildlife refuges clean. We respect our nature and our wildlife. We don't like people coming into our homes and leaving trash everywhere, so we don't do that to other places. This place could be a gem. It could be beautiful and worth returning to every year. But that won't happen. This was our first -- and our last -- time visiting.

The park offers amenities: public restrooms in a building and some port-o-potties; outdoor shower to remove the grime (that gets in EVERY crack); covered picnic tables. It also has some grassy areas for recreation and a playground for the kids. Plus, there's a touch of culture, with what professes to be the first human figure sundial. The sand is rocky in and out of the water, and the water is shallow, good for keeping it fails warm and for wading quite a ways out. It was nice to slather ourselves in the clay and let it bake in before rinsing it off. But be warned, the sulfur in the water and clay will keep you and anything you wear smelling even after a thorough washing. So I wouldn't plan a nice evening out after ;-) We look forward to going back for more fun this summer, after we check out some other local beaches.

There is a bath house, Beach Access, Picnic Tables and a huge Bronze & Basalt Sundial. It's a great place to stop and play or even plaster yourself in the healing mud from the lake. Swimming is easy as you float easier because of all the minerals in the water. We made a specific trip here during our vacation. Daughter and her kids played in the healing waters while wife read a book in the shade and I took the nap I really needed. Unfortunately, I took too long of a nap and missed laying in the water :( I guess I'll have to go back next year. This is the 3rd time we've come here and it is always worth a repeat visit when you are in the area.

I was feeling pretty good when I saw that my room had no neighbors. Just a large room with a metal door in between my room and the next. Turns out the room with the metal door had some sort of industrial equipment in it, and it let out a loud hum for the first three hours of my stay. The room I stayed in looked nothing at all like the pictures that were provided on any of the travel sites. It smelled musty, and was not well kept up.
