This is a small park but it's very scenic. There's a parking lot at the start of the park, which has a pond in the center. Beyond that, there is a wooden gazebo type structure, and that's about the end of the park. I often see people walking their dogs here or bringing their kids to run around in the grass.

When it gets warm, there are a lot of ducks around and people show up to feed them. Towards the rear of the park, there seems to be trash and debris, which could have been left by homeless and transient individuals. On the wood flooring under the Gazebo, it looks like someone may have lit a fire to keep warm and burned a hole through the wooden floor planks.

Along with discarded alcohol bottles, graffiti and the creepy wooden stairs that extend down from the street level above, be aware of your surroundings and careful to supervise your children at all times in the rear area of the park. Otherwise, the open grassy areas are...

Beautiful park. great location. lovely green grass everywhere. natural babbling brooks throughout the entire park. this is the best place to take the kiddos for a walk or picnic or walk your dogs. i love taking the kids to ride bikes here, the sidewalks are nice and smooth. This is would be a perfect place to take a date during the spring or summer and just be one with nature. There are benches you can sit on just beside the small lake and listen to the water and watch the ducks & geese . This really is just an amazing park to hang out at and let the kids roll down the hills or feed the ducks. You def have to make time to visit this place. Other similar places in the area just as serene, beautiful, and green would be Kuboda Gardens in Seattle/Skyway area. A must...

Cool little park in the middle of the hustle and bustle. A nice place to go lay in the grass on a nice day or walk the meandering paths to get away from a busy day and let your thoughts wander. Cool earth sculptures? Or shapes... Has a round / circle thing going on. Hidden places around bends in the path. I saw other reviews about sketchy people and trash. Park was relatively clean and there were some workers there cleaning up. I can see it being a place for addicts and homeless to hang out though. I probably wouldn't go at night.

Year round this is a good park to go for a walk, whether it’s with your pet or someone else there’s always something to see, granted that on occasion you’ll see homeless and/or their encampments that are in the far back of the park in the forest. For those concerned of their safety, as a local who’s been around the park since birth there’s nothing to fear but personally it’s advised to not go beyond the field behind the pond. Other than that, have fun!

This is an interesting park with some unique circular ponds in the main area. There are also some impressive bridge and staircase structures. The paved trail ends and a narrow footpath continues all the way through the canyon. There are excellent views of the canyon and Mill Creek. The trail kind of just ends in an area with tons of dumped trash. It is mostly beautiful, but it is unfortunate that there is so much litter in certain areas.
