Doesn't matter how cold or rainy, you get cocoa and keep walking. During the day you can go to the playground and use the zipping. Of course is for kids. Is not that tall. You can keep an eyepn them and enjoy the beauty of the Park too!!

If you pass the botanical garden on the right hand side, keep driving down and you will see a big parking lot where the park is at. They do have picnic benches. I do wish it was made out of metal instead of wood. It would be easier to wipe down and nice to sit on a dry surface. But we will definitely be back to visit when we are in town.

Great space for kids birthday parties, etc. there's a good size kids play set and tennis and basketball courts. Quite a bit of parking and if there's not enough parking directly by the park you are allowed to park across the street. It's in a very quiet neighborhood and is a very safe park!

This park is a lovely small neighborhood park. It has a small playground built for 5-12 yos. This…read moreis a bummer, since usually it has a bunch of 0-4 yos working hard to use equipment not quite age appropriate. There are 2 baby swings and two big kid swings, a straight and curly slide, a little playhouse, poles and pads, and a fabulous mini forest. The picnic tables are often full of local tech workers at lunchtime on sunny days. Several enormous big-leafed maples shade the area, with a large sunny grassy area running along the road. When the toilets are open there are flush toilets kept extra clean. Closed from mid fall until late spring (so freaking annoying!!!). It's amusing to count the number of guys in trucks that come to eat in their trucks and then go use the restroom. Maybe use the woman's for your kids? This park also has a tennis court (nice) and bball court (not super flat). There are a ton of dogs that walk through this park, but they are almost always leashed, picked up after, and well-behaved. All in all a great park. Adding 0-4 play equipment would greatly enhance this park. We love running into our neighbor here.

This park is often the place for many city and community events.

- Not well maintained as Bellevue parks -…read more We checked it out on a Sunday, and I had to use the restroom. The toilet was overflowing and there was no contact information for maintenance anywhere. There were several honey buckets outside, so I guess this happens frequently(?). It was quite packed with a group hosting a private event and the courts were all full. We walked around the park with our toddler, and there were tons of random kinks on the ground. I even found a piece of broken glass that wasn't super far from where my daughter was... The lake was pretty though, and there were people fishing. I think it's less maintained than Bellevue parks...

There's usually some kids playings here when I come by. There's a small parking area right at the entrance but it's usually pretty open since I haven't seen this park get really crowded. I believe street parking is also ok nearby if it does get full? Good to come by now and again, but during summer time it's probably more fun for the kids to get to Crossroads or Downtown for the water play!

Oh, and there's also half of a basketball court. I would say this place would be good for a birthday celebration; the only thing is that I couldn't found any restrooms. Other than that great spot.

I was able to take a few photos of the plants and scenery along the way. My dog also enjoyed his visit. Parking is relatively easy here. I didn't need my discover pass. But I brought it anyways. The first part of the park is tour standard neighborhood park. Very small at first glance i almost wanted to turn around and leave. There is a covered area, a jungle gym like structure, and Picnic areas for family bbqs. So glad they also had a public restroom as we needed to use It on the way out. If you venture deeper into the woods and follow the trails you will begin a maze like adventure full of winding trails. There are streams and bridges and views of the valleys. So nice. Multiple entrances/exits and paths to choose from. Very easy to get lost or turned around. Thankfully that have maps. We forsure got mixed up and had to rely on the maps. We had fun. It was worth the drive. Be sure to check out the photos for a visual experience.
