The park is and has always been well maintained. The park has evolved and added overhead nets to protect the fans, which is an added bonus. The parking is always plentiful, and I have seen RV's parked around the perimeter of the parking area, so I guess it must be allowed. The park says dog allowed, but it is at the discretion of the tournament director, and for the state tournament, it was a no dogs allowed. The fields are always well maintained. The food and drink choices are a bit limited, and the restrooms seem to be inadequate since there always seemed to be a line. The park is in close proximity to stores, hotels, and restaurants. Overall, it was a great place to watch a game

Our eight-year-old recently discovered pump tracks and when we found out there was one in Ellensburg, we decided we needed to check it out. The pump track is only a small part of the larger Rotary Park. This place is got basketball courts, baseball/softball fields and large soccer fields. It even has a dog park that is larger than most of the parks that we frequent. The pump track is a small BMX track that works really well for bike riders of all ages and skill levels. There are four separate areas within this track, ranging from figure jumps with harder obstacles, all the way down to smaller dirt humps. The place is really nicely kept up and we spent a couple hours here, a few days in a row. The kids love it and there are a couple adjoining areas the lead to tennis courts and a playset. It made it really nice for the younger kids to be able to run around on a playset, and the older kiddo being able to continue to ride his bike while everyone was able to see us. If you haven't checked this place out, you owe it to yourself to do so! There's literally something for everybody!

As the lava cooled to match the temperature of the atmosphere structures developed within the lava flows. These structures are on full display in the Selah Cliffs. Millions of years later life is thriving here, and one species known as the Basalt Daisy is in high abundance here. Conservation efforts to protect and preserve both the natural landscape and native wildlife has resulted in the Selah Cliffs Natural Area Preserve. Just North of Selah driving North on Washington State Route 821 the adventure begins just past the 'Entering Yakima River Canyon' sign on the right hand side of the road. A short gravel road branching off at the truck turnaround leads to a looped gravel road with a parking lot on the side of the loop nearest the Preserve. A Discover Pass is needed to park here or incur a $99 fine. Interpretive signs along the trail throughout the Preserve aid in thinking about the natural significance and history of this area and how that connects to later human activity in the area. Millions of years from now these cliffs and the plains of the valley may be part of a lush jungle boasting life such as Saber-toothed Tigers, Jaguars, and Ocelots. Go Jaguars, nature's powerhouses of South and Central America! The creek may become a river and this once barren landscape may evolve into a green oasis similar to, though not the same as, the barren volcanic islands of Hawai'i later fostering diverse plant life once the volcanoes that form each island stop erupting. Nature can change in drastic ways. Embrace the passing of time and the changes in life it brings.

I would plan on about 45 minutes to an hour total to give you time to get up, enjoy the view and head down. As a kid we called this the, "hike to the cross" because of the metal cross at the top.

There's this big sandy mountain behind the park that offers a pretty good view of the Tri-Cities area. Sledding? This is the best steep spot in the Tri-City area, it's not for the faint of heart and I swear I almost broke my neck when I got too bold one snowy day. But seriously, it's the best! The rest of the park is very nice, but these are the exceptional points. Sledding and shows, and hiking! Don't miss this friendly spot.
