Kettle View Park — Attraction in Olympia

It's great for walking your dog (on the pavement), I really like that there are a couple of entrances/ exits to the main park loop at the front of the park because by dogs are dog reactive so we have options to go a different direction if another dog is in the park. It's generally quiet and not too busy. . Warning though, the entrance to the park crosses a driveway road. It almost just looks like the park pavement, so you may not be on high alert walking across or along the road. Cars will pop up out of nowhere and rush through at 20+ mph which is a bit scary since there are bushes obstructing your peripheral view right before crossing to enter/...

Yoooo look, it hasn’t rained in like 4 days so why is it that the middle of the field is basically a marsh. I was running through with my dogs and got stuck ankle deep in water locked mud. I had to completely throw my shoes away after that (the shoes pic was after trying to salvage them with a wash)

Otherwise, I do like the walking area around the park and I’m super impressed with the practice wall in the tennis court.

Edit: honestly the park without the field is close to a 5/5 for me so I’ll post a separate review to balance that out. But for sure the wet field situation...

What's going on here? I pay taxes for this? 1 star because they clearly are writing this "park" off as a reasonable substitute for a drain field.

Maybe it is bare minimum acceptable during summer seasons but clearly it is garbage and useless but for probably 9 or 10 months out of the year.

Get a degree and figure out what to do with this stuff my guy.

Rarely 1 star, look me up I know...
