Jack Slaven Park — Attraction in Woodland

This park is really nice, my kids love the water play area & I like to join in the fun with them too. Great way to cool down. The covered picnic areas are a good size. There is a lot of open grass area for a variety of activities & sports such as soccer, catch,my kids like to play a game of football, theres plenty of grassy area to set up a volleyball net. Or just to set a blanket for a little picnic. Theres also a playground for smaller kids and another one for bigger or older kids. The playgrounds have a rubber like flooring which is safer for the kids &their barefeet enstead of woodchips or sand. I only gave it 4 stars because the total area of the whole park is pretty big and it is very popular in the summer theres a lot of people &partys which is great BUT theres only 3 covered picnic bbq areas and there is plenty of room to make at least a couple of more covered bbq picnic areas. Another reason i i only gave it 4 stars is because other than the 3 coveres picnic areas, there is not any shade to sit on the grass with a picnic blanket or fold up chairs you know to sit and stay in close view of your kids while they play in the water. The single benches around the water play area are in direct sun. There isn't any shade until after 6 or 7 pm...

We reserved station 2 from 2:00 to 4:00 on June 5th. We got there. It was a little league baseball team on the field on the benches as well. Barbecuing saying it was it was theirs. They had a contract I said. Let me see. Did not prevail. We had ours out until the guy to leave. We're not leave. Had to call with the PD before they left. You guys must have things take care of this. They call in the cops for this small issue. They are bigger fish to fry than don't worry about Parks and recreation mistakes. Please fix in the future That's a park...

Awesome park. The water area makes this park special. I saw so many kids having a blast that even though my one year old didn't have a change of clothes, I let her partake. I appreciate having this park available for free. It is hidden in a very nice neighborhood and the upkeep is great as well as the company it keeps. Many families with children. Seems safe and fun for all. I also liked the private gazebo areas for BBQs. Good place...
