The host was super helpful throughout checking in, helping set things up, and making sure everything ran smoothly.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a low-stress, fun birthday party venue where kids can run around. I do wish their party packages had extended hours. 2 hours didn't seem like enough.

I don't know if there's a limit but it can get very crowded of people because sometimes the whole family comes along to watch their doggy swim :) It is very fun and inspiring having these kind of activities for dogs. They truly enjoy it with available tennis balls. Ours was in the water the whole time. They can use both pools (there's a small one on the other side of the planters). We also went into the baseball field where all dogs were allowed to run and chase balls. Just be sure that your furry one is friendly around other dogs and people. We all trust each other's. The whole family can come along and spend a good time by the park!

We went there for a swim field trip for my 10 year old child's class. I watched the lifeguards fail…read moreseveral kids from the swim test after they had swum the length of the pool nearly perfectly. They won't allow children to use goggles for the swim test or on the diving board which makes zero sense given that professional divers use goggles in the Olympics! Also, the swim schools around here have the kids use goggles as a mandatory requirement so of course the kids are used to using goggles to swim. I had many kids tell me how gaslit they felt today by being told that they couldn't swim when they quite literally had just swum the length of the pool. It was not a good experience for them and we had several kids upset and in tears over being told that they literally couldn't do what they had *just* done. The lifeguards were apparently upset about a rowdy group prior to us in the last few days and took it out on our kids needlessly. What an absolutely bizarre experience. Such a disappointment for them and us as parents who couldn't do anything to help them. My own kid is almost a graduate of the wave swim school in Juanita which means they can swim very well and even they were failed. The test is obviously way too hard if you're failing kids who have graduated a swim school. Just because you've had the same test forever doesn't mean it's good or valid.

We arrived early to be sure that we could purchase a pass for the 1.5 hour block of leisure swim time. Once we got in, a less than friendly lifeguard walked over and looked right at me and said that I could enter the pool if I had showered first. Not one single person went and showered first and no one else was told to shower. My child was already in the pool. We paid around $13 for 1.5 hours of a very crowded toddler swim area that was about one foot deep.

One of the perks of the pool from my perspective as a little one was that the pool was shallow, less frightening when one cannot touch the bottom of the pool and have one's head out of the water at the same time. The workers were friendly and locker rooms cleanly. The deck space for my parents during open swim and swim lessons could be a bit cramped, but partially depended on how many other parents and guardians were present.

When I was about 7 years old I took part in a cheerleading day camp at the Spartan Recreation…read moreCenter. We came for part of the day and covered different parts of cheer and the camp culminated with us cheering during a basketball game in the gym. Even though I did not pursue gymnastics nor cheer much after the termination of the camp, the camp itself was enjoyable, well organized, and I enjoyed that we got to practice cheer choreography in the same place we performed the cheer during the game. Later on, in high school, regional-level competitions were held here for the History Day Competition. Different competition types were housed in different rooms in the center that could accommodate the format of the competition categories. For example, documentary/film competitions were held in rooms with computer hook-ups to projectors, live-exhibits (also called skits or performances) were held in rooms that had a stage-like portion of the room, and physical exhibits (my category) were housed in one large room with aisles between the exhibits so people could stop and ask up questions. The spacing of the aisles also provided good spacing when interacting with the judges one-on-one, not too crowded in my opinion. I ended up advancing to the state-level of competition, which was held at the University of Washington, and found I preferred presenting here at the Spartan Recreation Center in part because of the spacing and in part because of friendlier event organizers and workers. Field use for sports is tied here if I am recalling correctly. We had to reserve the athletic fields in advance for dry land practice as part of the high school water polo team. For swim team, a room here was reserved and used on occasion for the start of the year team meeting and getting our warm-ups and bag (uniforms aside from team suits). Reserving the rooms and fields was relatively hassle-free. I also used the athletics fields for soccer over the years and maintenance was excellent. The track and field has a large parking lot, easy-to-read scoreboard, and a good number of bathrooms. I ran middle distance track here for my high school and enjoyed the practices and meets held here. The track surface wasn't so hard as to hurt my knees except during one practice when I managed to trip over my shoe laces during a sprints set...

He struck a really good balance of keeping things fun, while also keeping the boys in check to not get too wild. The private party room was excellent as well. It's a really great balcony setup to observe for the parents that stayed to watch. The helpers in the party room did a great job of keeping the flow (setting up tables, bringing out cake, cleaning up, etc). I really recommend this place for a birthday party. It was a really well run and a great unique birthday event.

They enjoyed the snacks sold there and teasing each other as they competed. I wish I would have thought to bring medals for the winning team! Lol!

Fiddlesticks! I saw that because I'm finally getting around to writing a review of the park which…read morehas been the closest to my heart, since I was born here in Seattle. Why you ask? Because I grew up here just down the street, and it is basically the park that makes me feel most at home. Yes, there are other parks in the area, but this one is the best. Let's discuss... there is a beach, there is a railroad bridge that is sketch as heck, but absolutely a blast of hot air (literally), because it's just a you, above the train, and a chainlink fence... so safe, probably, fun, absolutely. The beach, when the tide is out, is great tide pooling, lots of things to see, from little crabs, all sorts of starfish goodness. Up near the parking lots, there is a large field, and playgrounds. There are plenty of things for the kiddos to do, but the gem, is a concrete slide, in the shape of a salmon. Yes, a long time ago, there was a metal slide that ranks as the hottest things short of flying into the sun... when it was a sunny day. There are reservable picnic tables and prep areas with water... good stuff. Honestly, there are so many wonderful things about this park... did I mention the trails? There are lots of trails that have viewpoints. So recommend, yes.

A lot of popular Piper Creek trails to follow that make you feel like you are over the water at Olympic National Park--here is the ONLY deciduous rain forest in the entire Northern Hemisphere. Beautiful. Enjoy hundreds of species of birds here, marked trails and a mile-long beach with Golden Gardens to the south and the Highlands to the North. There is a large play area here some 30,000 feet for the kids and small barbeques, and a bench looking out over Puget Sound. If you want to get a birds-eye view of the trains passing by, if you aren't acrophobic, you can walk over to the overpass bridge with it's see-through deckplating that puts you literally right on top. The bridge leads another forty steps down to the beach area which is just as beautiful as Golden Gardens. Lots of driftwood and shiny things for the kids to collect, shells and the like. And a few beer and soda tops from decades past.
