Forest Park — Attraction in Everett

Forest park is one of the best parks I know of! Not just in Everett but anywhere. It's got lots of things to do year round. If it's snowing it is the place to be bc of a huge, rather steep hill on one side of it, with a grassy field at the bottom so it's super safe and fun!

In the summer it has a water park. Not a big one but sort of a sprinkler park that covers part of the playground area. It's busy, busy, busy in summertime! Bring towels! And water socks are also a good idea so you don't get stubbed toes.

The playground itself is big and awesome. All the toys are well maintained and there's a lot of them of all different sorts n sizes. Toys for the littles and toys for the bigs.

It has a tennis court, a basket court, and place for roller hockey. It's got an indoor pool for all where everyone can swim for a nominal fee. And there's a rope swing over it that's a lot of fun. It's got trails for walking & bike riding. And it's also got an animal park & petting zoo that accepts donations.

The petting zoo is only open 3 mos in the summer. Check their website for specific dates n times. And also don't forget to donate! Bc I hear it may close permanently otherwise, due to lack of funding. Which would be a big bummer and huge loss. Bc it's really great! It's got llamas, alpaca, bunnies, chickens, pigs n free-roaming goats, to name a few. It's got a big, grumpy turkey that really stares you down. He's my favorite. And they also do horse and pony rides.

Lastly, it's got a hall you can rent for events like weddings. There's lots of space for BBQ's (which are allowed) and tables and a few covered spaces for birthdays and family gatherings.

Parking is easy, free, and adequate... although you may have to walk a bit, as it does get busy as the weather warms up. It's a wonderful place for kids &...

Best park in Snohomish county, a beautiful mix of cultural and heritage, so many children from different background, race and culture playing together, blending culture in a way only children ignorant to the man made bigotry invented by adults. It's so beautiful to watch my child play with other children from different countries and ethnicities, many of these children don't speak the same language yet find in play way to converse. Me and my wife sat with two Mexican American imagrint women and through broken English and Spanish found SO many similarities of our 8 year old daughters, the mother of this child even put the most beautiful braids in my daughter's hair and marvelled at how "gorgeous" my daughter was even though her daughter could have been a model herself.

This park has an amazing amount structure and toys as well as a full size water/sprinkler park for the children to run around and threw in the summer, as well as a petting zoo open to anyone free at certain times of the year, there is also a inside pay to use public pool, again I'm not sure of the hours or months it is open.

But from dusk to dawn this is an amazing park equipped with basketball ball hoops and a tennis court as well as a soccer field.

If you want to see a multicultural soup of people of all ages having fun and getting along with ZERO gang or drug drama this is the place to bring your any age...

We recently visited this park, and even though the petting zoo was closed for the season, it still turned out to be a fantastic experience for the family. The park is well-equipped with activities for kids of all ages. In the summer, there’s a water pad that would be perfect for cooling off, though it wasn’t in use during our visit. What really stood out were the musical toys scattered around the park—great for encouraging creativity and interactive play.

There’s a wide variety of swings, including options for toddlers and older kids, and several slides with soft, safe landing zones, so parents don’t need to worry about any rough falls. The jungle gyms were impressive too, giving children plenty of options to climb, explore, and burn off energy.

All in all, this park offers a lot to keep kids entertained, even without the petting zoo. I’m looking forward to returning in the warmer months when the water pad and petting zoo are up...
