I liked many aspects about this park, and it also had some great surprises. I think it helped that it was a beauuuuuutiful autumn day and the sun was blazing down on us.
We parked on Balsam Street in the mini-parking lot and walked across the sopping wet and mushy field to the play structures.
The big-kid structure from Landscape Structures is large, and laid out differently than most of them, almost like a gym circuit. It would be neat to do a timed obstacle course if you had a few bigger kids.
There are monkey bars, a small climbing wall with rope, a stepping stone bridge (and not dangerously broken like the one at Ecclestone Park in Kirkland!), a weird pedalling contraption, sky wheels, a zipline, the Summit Climber, and rings to swing from and slides.
Set further back is the toddler climber (a Little Tykes brand) with big wide platforms to climb, a wall with things to spin, a slide, and a few “toadstools” to climb.
Flanking the soccer field and across some more muck are the swings, Calvin the Caterpillar for climbing on and under, and some biiiiig teeter-totters.
p.s. everything is on sand. Unkempt sand that needs some weeding.
We figured “that must be it!” and were going to head somewhere else after playing, but I checked Google Maps on my phone and saw that it showed a huge greenspace.
Soooo, we toddled to the south end of the soccer field and saw an opening to a nicely groomed path of cedar chips. It was small but beautiful it was great to have a place to walk and collect leaves.
Then……at the end of the path, we found Allan’s Hill, which I’ve heard so much about for sledding.
