I really liked the mix of turf and rubbery floor, tons of designs with number patterns colors ... many slides, very accomodating to kids of various ages... our girls really enjoed the tunnel swing ( smaller ) there were also some big slides... covered picnic / tables - only bad thing was that some of the slides that left overs on them... but the city had dispatched a crew to clean up, crazy as they were working on sunday! more information on the park here: https://www.kentwa.gov/departments/kent-parks/parks-places/parks-trails/west-fenwick-park Thank you City of Kent!!!

This was a super nice park and was perfect for young children and slightly older ones too. The play…read morestructures were big and had a large variety of things, slides, climbing, spinning, ropes, etc. The one for the slightly older kids with the steepest slides had beans puke all over it (not sure how long it had been there), which was super gross, but the park service truck came while we were there and power hosed the thing down. Our toddlers had a great time climbing on the blocks, enjoying the slightly shorter and less steep toddler friendly slides, and the bucket swings.

We came here last summer during the heatwave. We heard there was a splash pad and a swimmable lake…read more The location is convenient as well because it's close to my home. I will say that the parking lot is rather small and it can be very challenging to find any parking during the summer. When I arrived on this particular day, there was literally a line out to the road with vehicles trying to find parking. It can get pretty cut throat, too. The park itself is generously sized, in the splash pad has a lot of unique features that my kids really enjoyed. My favorite part is that they had features for small children as well as larger children. Usually when I go to other splash pads it smells funky or like chlorine. But this location smelled fresh and seemed to have been upkept recently. Western Washington is a notorious area for high amounts of trafficking, so I always have to keep an eye out wherever we go. But thankfully, this area seemed pretty safe so we will definitely be back next summer for more playtime.

One of the hidden park gems in the South King County area. Briscoe Park is located in the heart of…read morethe industrial area within Kent. It runs along the Green River Trail, and is easily accessible from a nearby parking lot near the trail. This seems like a great place for a variety of low cost, corporate events from one of the nearby buildings. They have plenty of space there for even hundreds of people if the occasion called for it. With access from the trail, you can even haul in quite a bit of equipment if you wanted to provide your own grill and play gear. This park has a path around the perimeter and along the trail, giving you options for walking around it if you're not wanting to get into the often wet grass. This location is not often overcome with birds, but you should expect the crows to be looking for snacks since they expect human activity. They have ample pavilion space, and from what I have seen it does not require any kind of reservation, so it should be first come first serve. I have rarely seen any kind of large groups out here, more is the shame since it is actually a pretty nice location to enjoy a sunny afternoon. Briscoe park is a definitely a little known destination for most. It is still a great respite for trail goers and park grill masters alike.

A great place to have lunch or take a pause from our hectic 21st Century lifestyle. I see some of my fellow Yelpers seem to feel that the park is dirty and noisy because of the proximity to the railroad tracks and the presence of transients. I did not find any of this so, except for the railroad. And yes, trains DO come by every once in a while but really, not that often. I suppose the city must have evicted the transients and cleaned up their mess because I found the park exceptionally clean and inviting. And for those reasons, I am awarding five stars. So, next time you're in downtown Kent, take a moment to stop by Kaibara Park. Your nerves will thank you.

The artificial turf fields are not as bad off, but playing on turf is for professionals, who do not play here. The regular fields suffer from clay that needs obvious conditioning. This can result in some gnarly injuries if you are not in shape and properly stretched. Overall, this is a pretty decent place for leagues, families, and fans. The bathrooms are only available when softball games are in session, so don't come here expecting what should be considered standard amenities. Parking here is pretty generous too, but everyone seems to park around the same place, making it look more crowded than it actually is. Summers here are pretty great. The grills are lit, and the games are fun.
