Now I haven't been there for a while but I can't remember how close the Wheel Chair access but it's a long walk. The archery area is also a nice place to go. Again have a parking pass. Just make a trip to actually see some pretty beautiful area. Make a better, safer parking lot. A lot of elderly go there.

This park is much like Riverfront park with some great improvements…read more The fields are separated, so you need not worry about soccer / Frisbee clashes any longer, each can tourney in peace. The bark dusted playground has the duel play structures but also has swings, and a climbing rock. You'll find the same long smooth sidewalks and a covered pavilion about half the size of Riverfront's but you'll also find tennis and basketball courts here. The splash pad does not just spray up from the ground. It has pipes that mist in all directions and deluge you from above. It is a little bigger and has more fountain points to, so more children can play, and get a little more creative with it. This park really gets all classy with the planning, putting the splash pad in a place that doesn't creep into the shade, making sure there are trees by the playground so parents don't bake and the ace in the hole? That would be the ample parking that is not located a quarter mile from the playground! Get's an A+ from this mom. The one warning I have is that when the soccer games and birthdays fill the park, it brings the 1 lane traffic to a standstill. In that event park across the street at the Fred Meyer's or come back in an hour. It usually clears out fast.

She said one lap is about 30 minutes and enough to get her heart rate up. It was a beautiful sunny day, and people were out playing ball. We started our walk around the nature trail of grasses, wildflowers, blackberry bushes and deer tracks and noticed a woman enjoying a book by herself. As we continued, we passed a couple of bike trails. There's an extreme track for advanced riders seeking a challenge, and a smaller track for beginners. Just around the bend lie a large soccer field, with a game in action, and what used to be the entrance to the park. It's been expanded recently, and now includes a couple of baseball fields, a family picnic area, and a larger bathroom to accommodate guests. As we passed the soccer field and approached the end of our lap, we observed families cheering baseball players in lawn chairs outside of the gate. Most people wore masks in public, and it was much appreciated.

Play ground in center for the littles. The concerning issues were the huge amount of homeless in the immediate area. Lots on bikes that seemed to be unaware of the cars coming in or going out of facility. When we seen the river was close the boys loaded up their fishing poles and tackle to fish. That was one quick trip to the river and back. There was nothing but tents and trash everywhere. With the sketchy people everywhere.

There are also people that come here who are unpleasant. Let's not even mention the people who can't control their dogs. On the plus side, they have a dog water fountain, person fountain, and a portable toilet. However, I can get that at almost every other dog park I've been to.
