There is a small parking lot with a 2-hour parking limit. If you don't want to drive, you can easily walk from the DASH bus stop at the Farmer's Market. The bridge nearby offers a great view of the harbor. The landscaping is very nice! The walkways are easy to manage and the whole area is nicely maintained. I'm very glad there are drinking fountains near the bathrooms. There are quite a few places to sit. There are benches and picnic tables available. On hot days, all the spaces are taken. It doesn't really matter since the lawn is a fantastic place to picnic during nice days. The trees offer shade during hot days. Kids are always out playing in all weather conditions. The playground includes equipment for toddlers to 4-year-olds and equipment for 5 to 12-year-olds. The only slides available are for the younger children. There are swings for both younger and older kids. The most popular pieces of equipment are the tall cargo netted merry-go-rounds. There are two available: One is a two level merry-go-round for older kids and the other one is a slower one level merry-go-round for younger kids. Percival Landing Playground is a fantastic playground for younger kids. Small kids (older babies to pre-school) can easily maneuver the smaller equipment themselves. Kids who are five and over enjoy playing on the climbing-bar/small jungle gym. This playground might be a bit small for older kids who like climbing equipment or larger slides. Most of the older kids pile on the large merry-go-round and have a great time. The playground is semi-accessible in a wheelchair. If the wheelchair is sturdy and can do a bit of off-roading, you might be okay. I would not suggest tooling around in a transfer chair. I've seen both transfer chairs and 2-wheel walkers get stuck in the chips. The bathrooms are very nice and are handicap accessible. The overall space inside the bathroom is a tad small. It can get crowded if you have multiple children or need assistance in the restroom. I enjoy this playground and will be back often.

What a wonderful little park, nestled into the neighborhood - a great place to take the family…read more I happened upon this little gem a number of years ago when my wife was at an appointment and I needed to "kill" some time with the kids. I searched for nearby parks and this one popped up. I am super glad that we went there, as we have been back countless times!! They have a good selection of play equipment for a variety of ages and kinesthetic movements (slides, climbing toys, a large spinning toy, monkey bars, balance beams, and swings). The centerpiece of the play area is a large lions mountain-type slide. The kids have to literally climb up the "rock side" to get to the top. Granted, that's a wee bit challenging for some of the youngsters, and their adults may need to help boost them up and spot them from underneath. But the pay-off is great! A good view from the top and a tall, long, straight slide down!! There also is an animal footprint rock path that is pretty cool. Each rock (they're low to the ground and pretty flat so it's safe) has the footprinted imprinted on them and go in a large "S-shape." Good for balance and for identifying wildlife. Additionally, there are basketball hoops, tennis courts, and a walking path. There is a fair amount of picnic tables available - including a covered pavilion that can be rented out for parties. New in the last year or so is a water feature where kiddos (and adults) can cool off in the hot summer days. Lastly, there's a huge open field for just general running and plays and games. The biggest challenge that we've found is the "Lion Hunt." Supposedly (according to the sign by the playground) there are 11 Lions hidden around the park. Some are statues, some are carvings, etc. So far, after much looking, we've only found like 4 of them! Hmm? You'll have to check it out ... a great park, in a safe neighborhood, with lots to do. You can't go wrong!

So after my first review, Fengie O. came to the rescue regarding the disappointment I originally…read morefelt about Bigelow Park. Thanks to her kind instructions, I found that I had gone to the wrong park. I actually visited a small patch of land next to someone's house and thought that was the park. I was obviously off my meds that day. Anyway, this park is major cute and nice for the kids or if you wanted to grill out. The amount of space between the grill stations is sufficient enough to not make you feel like you're encroaching on someone else's territory. There is also a decent amount of kids equipment. It all looks pretty safe and there is even a single basketball net on the half court. The park is surrounded by huge trees that in a way hide the grounds and provide ample shade. There are also unisex restrooms on site and doogy doo bags for life's little messes. It's definitely a nice park now that I actually went to the right one. Thanks Fengie.

Guess who finally moved near Bigelow Park? That's right--I did! I can walk to the park from my…read morehouse. It's a decent sized park. The equipment is appropriate for children 12 months old to 11 years old. Some children who have limited mobility can enjoy the play structures. The wide stairs are set near the ground so children can transfer out of wheelchairs and climb into parts of each structure. My oldest kid will play football with her friends, but my 2 year old likes to hide in the tube connected to the small play structure and scream! In addition to the 2 play structures, there are also two spinning toys. One is shaped like a cup. Kids sit in it and spin around. The other is a pole with a platform. 2 children get on the platform and spin each other. There are swings for babies and for older children. The swings for the older children are set near the basketball court. The swings for the younger children are closer to the main play area. A tire swing is attached to the large play structure. The park is surrounded by a grassy area. It's fun to play soccer or football. Keep in mind the area is not fenced. One of the grassy sides of the park is right next to a moderately busy road. It's good to keep an eye on younger children. The parking area is a decent size. I've seen 6 minivans parked with room to spare. There are also at least 2 large handicap parking spaces. The bathrooms are a decent size. There is a drinking fountain, a covered area for picnicking and a few picnic tables. If all the picnic tables are taken, it's a lovely place to lay a blanket down and have a sit down picnic.

The forest is an hour away from this building. You can type in the name into any map and choose one of the entrances. The way we went was through a back road passing several homes in the flat valley that's surrounded by mountains and woods. It will lead you to the welcome sign, then you'll pass a camp ground. There are less people going this way, so the hikes might only have 1/2 a dozen people on it. You will see many trails options, and they will all be gorgeous! The Skokomish Lower South Fork Trail is a great one. It has a very small gravel parking area, and it is a 6 mile hike in total. You'll go in 3 miles to Brown Creek, and then back 3 miles. I would say it's a semi strenuous hike. There's some down hill, and uphill, but mostly its level. Bring plenty of water, SPF, and snacks. Also stop at the restroom just before heading up the gravel road to the beginning of the trail. You'll pass a few little ice cold babbling brooks that will be very easy to walk across without getting your feet wet.
