One of the secluded municipal park in Mill Creek. Located between Village Green Dr and 155th St SE…read more This recently renovated park does have nature themed play area, sheltered picnic area, paved walk, tennis court etc. Never found this place crowded or noisy. Being secluded and in the middle of a quiet neighborhood gives a perfect opportunity for any family to have a peaceful getaway place. It is open from dawn to dusk. The main play structures are designed mainly for 5-12. There's a smaller structure available for younger kids as well. But most of the kids will be attracted by the tandem swing and the uniquely designed merry-go-round. It encourages group play with the steering wheel in the middle to encourage a combined effort for the enjoyment. Tennis court and paved walking trails - that's all for parents. There's no restroom. Sheltered picnic area is also advantage during poor weather conditions. Very limited parking - hardly 3-4 available. I am sure kids will have a great time. Highly recommended.

Summer time it is nice. Decent bathrooms to use. There is no baby changing table, so I had to get creative with that. This park has a zipline type of ride. You can stand on one part, or strap in like a harness swing on the other part. It is fun and sometimes even has a line! The littles really like it. Aside from that, there are plenty of swings, tall green slides that are each different and a carousel type of ride like Forest Park has. There are picnic areas as well as plenty of parking. Pro playground tip: if your kid is young like mine, you may need to assist them with climbing the ladder to the top so they can go down the slides. My two year learned to climb ladders at this park. Great for motor-skill development! One of my videos is of him climbing the ladder i'm talking about.

I enjoy peaceful walks surrounded by trees and tall grass. At North Creek Park, I can experience…read moreall that, while strolling atop a floating boardwalk on water. So cool. The wooden walkway on the wetlands is what makes this park unique. In a couple spots, the boardwalk does sway a bit and has small slopes that end in little puddles of water on the path (which I thought was awesome but I can see some people not liking this), but for the most part it's dry, flat, and stable for pedestrians on foot. It's not a huge park, but I think we spent at least 45 minutes exploring it. When we got to the end of the boardwalk, it turned into a gravel road that seemed to lead up to a small farm or something and a road... so we had to turn around to get back to where we started. It is not a loop. That's my only complaint. It's a simple walk with maybe not the most spectacular, but still pleasant views. The tall grass in the fields remind me of the Midwest (where I'm originally from), so it captures my heart.

On my…read morewalk in to Silver Laker after parking my car, I spotted a robin foraging in the grass and a hummingbird zipping around at the edge of some trees. A work crew was at the edge of the parking lot. Small wildflowers were in bloom towards the water and ducks were floating and preening themselves near the shore. After a few minutes, a subset of the ducks broke off and paddled towards an area of the water covered with lilypads. It was possible to venture out over the water a little ways on a shorter dock and a taller pier. A foot path past the dock and pier continued on along Silver Lake. The sands of Thornton A. Sullivan Park across the lake were visible from the water's edge. One family of ducks was friendly, with an adult and two young ones coming closer when I waved and said hello. They stayed close to the water, but did waddle around a bit. The adult kept its eye on me, it liked it when I pulled my camera out and it felt like it might have been posing for the pictures I took.

There's a large lawn and a picnic area that's great for the kiddos too! The park leads to the lake, a dock and a trail where you can continue to walk around the lake. It's not too far of a walk, 30 minutes if you're walking slowly like we were. Along the lake we saw people fishing, people walking around the lake and others playing with their dogs in the water (there are signs that say no dogs on beaches and water but I've always seen dogs playing here....) . To walk around you have to walk through some residential areas where you are no longer on a trail around the lake but it's still fun.

We drove over to Mill Creek and found Pine Valley Park, which was stunning immediately from the road. There was no parking lot but there was plenty of street parking, so we pulled right up and began our adventure. Right up front is a beautiful playground area, a very sturdy and well-constructed pavilion, and plenty of seating for anybody wishing to watch their children from a comfortable spot. Not too far away was a basketball court and a beautiful field in which to run and play. There was a beautifully paved trail that went all around the outside of the park. And despite the time of year-early March-it was clear that this part was well-manicured and taken care of on a regular basis. Mill Creek parks seem to have so much character to them, and this one was no different. It was exceptionally clean and exceptionally well-kept, with plenty of things for everyone in the family to do. Probably our favorite piece though was the beautiful collection of trees-particularly in the park's center. In fact, we walked over to the circle of trees in the very center of the park and ended up finding a Mill Creek rock! Those who live in the area and frequent Facebook know that these rocks are part of a very humorous and rewarding game that people play with each other in the community. When you find one of these rocks, you take your photo with it and then re-hide it for the next person to find. It's a blast! The bottom line about this park is, even though it's not huge in terms of size, it's huge in terms of spirit. It's beautiful, there's plenty to do, and the people in the area are incredibly friendly as well. Recommended.
