    Pictures never do this park justice...lots of gorgeous trees and trails to wander, a playground with equipment for older kids and littles, and tennis courts and baseball fields. Lovely place to have a picnic or take a walk. We feel so lucky having this little gem near our home in Lacey!

    There really is a lot of room at this park. It's kind of hidden back in a development right off Ruddell Rd SE and the signs that tell you that you're on the right path are moderately small, so you probably will miss them. Once you find the park though, I hope you brought your soccer balls, baseball bats, picnic blankets, tennis rackets, walking shoes, badminton net, or any other warm weather outdoor activity supplies because there really is a huge amount of space. There are facilities next to the basketball court as well as by the baseball fields, so you don't have to go far if you have to go to the bathroom. There is also a lot of parking too, probably to be available for the games that are played on the fields. As you can see from the pics they didn't have any basketball nets or even basketball backboards up the last time I went which I found odd. Overall this park is really really nice for just chilling out and watching the little ones play or for taking a walk on one of the short trails. You just have to find it first...

    I love all the different types of moss!! I think my all-time favorite is the Lykin (sp?) Moss . It has always been one of my favs. Later in my life, I had a beautiful kitten who grew into be a beautiful cat. I named her Lykin Roo. Lykin for the beautiful Lykin moss in WA state and Roo for baby kangaroos because both baby roos and my kitten hopped when they played.

    Nice old park. Heavily wooded with old fir, cedar and maple trees. Lots of cool shade in summer. Easy paved walking loop. Bathrooms, playground, picnic area. Two ball fields. Large grass area good for Frisbee when games are not in progress.

    Had my kiddo's birthday there. The kids had a blast blowing bubbles and just being kids. Clean bathrooms, clean trails, all good.

    Long Lake Park is one of our family's favorite spots to spend a sunny day in Lacey! The park has…read moresuch a peaceful vibe with its big open spaces, tall trees, and of course the beautiful lake. The swimming area is perfect for kids and families--it feels safe, clean, and the water is refreshing on hot days. We love that there's plenty of room for picnics, whether you want to grab a table or just spread out a blanket on the grass. The park gives kids plenty to do when they're not splashing in the lake. Parking can fill up quickly on nice days, but that just shows how popular the park is. Once you're set up, it's such a relaxing place to spend the day together as a family. We always leave feeling recharged and grateful to have such a gem right here in Lacey. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot to enjoy the sunshine, swimming, and some simple outdoor fun--Long Lake Park is a great choice!

    Definitely would come here with friends for a picnic or like a lake day with friends or my husband…read more It has two volleyball courts which I thought was awesome, people were already there playing their games so we just kinda observed as we passed by. Just fair warning, dogs are not allowed at the beach (on the gravel) but can be walked technically on the paved grounds and on the grass. It's a pretty small lake but has lots of grass and places to sit. Just gotta get there early if you want a good spot. Also no lifeguard is on duty there.

    I drive into this park on a whim last weekend and think I've found a gem hidden in Olympia,…read moreliterally minutes from downtown. Straddling Boston Harbor Road, the park has a bridge that connects both sides of the sprawling property. On the East side of the park, you immediately feel like you've driven into a forest. Big and old trees line the park roadway. Several picnic areas are available, I assume by reservation, at least for the covered areas. I found a restroom building and took advantage. This place is well maintained. More picnic areas. Nd two more restroom buildings are on the West side of the park, and so is the Sound. Lots more parking, and a kids playground. Squaxin has something for everyone. Lots of hiking paths on both sides of the park that are now on my to do list. Squaxin is an oasis in Olympia!

    Squaxin Park is a wonderful place to spend the day at and there is plenty of things to do! I have…read morelived in this area for many years, have heard of and seen this park as we've been around town, but never actually visited. I can confidently say that after being there yesterday that my boys and I will be back! I decided on taking the kids there because I was looking for a new playground space. We had usually gone to other parks/playgrounds and we were all getting a wee bit tired of the same old, same old. I showed the pictures of the playground to the kids and they thought it looked fun too. We went there and were pleasantly surprised at what all else they had to do. The playground itself has a big toy that's shaped like a large ship, which they had fun playing on. However, it was the walking trails and beach access that they enjoyed the most. The trails are partly paved and partly unpaved (so do remember to wear your boots). They lead you through the woods, along and close to various benches and covered pavilions, and down the hills to the beach. The trail hills are not that steep, so it's doable and not extremely strenuous (my 6 year old made it around easily - and the 3 year old mostly was good ... just got tired near the end, after a couple of hours of walking and playing). The best part of the walk was getting down to the beach! It's a beautiful view and very easy to walk around. Hard-packed sand, shells, and flat made for a nice walk. Because of all the recent rain, it was a wee bit sloppy; but fun. My kids had a wonderful time walking/running around and watching the water, looking for shells, and just being kids! We felt very safe there and I never felt like I needed to be "on guard" like at some parks. Overall, the park is large enough to spend a couple of hours there, and yet small enough to not get lost of feel overwhelmed with the number and length of the trails. I asked the kids if they had fun and would want to come back again. They both immediately said yes to both questions. There you have it. We'll be back!!
