I visited the Imagination Station on an afternoon with my 13 month old…read more I was initially excited when I read the sign on the window, "Free coffee and Wifi"...two of my favorite things! When I walked in the door things got awkward. I was standing at the counter waiting to pay the entrance fee. Two women behind the desk were just chatting away with each other. Did they notice me? I didn't know. I questioned whether or not I was to pay. Maybe it is free here! Well eventually they noticed me and smiled but didn't greet me. So after waiting patiently for a few minutes and searching for a pricing chart that I never found I decided to walk in and meet my friend. The toys are very fun for infants through preschoolers. I had so much fun playing here with my baby! I like that they offer a wide variety of gross motor and fine motor skill toys and they have two areas that can be closed off to prevent your child from wandering too far away. Toward the front they have an eating area with tables and chairs. This is very useful when you need to take a break to breastfeed/eat/drink. We stayed for hours until it closed at 3, as we were leaving I flagged down an employee and payed $6. She was very relaxed and didn't seem to mind at all that we didn't pay as soon as we came in. Well worth the money! I will definitely be back.

And even if you want a little snack, there's CJ's Evergreen General Store & Catering. That's walking distance from the park. The store even sells peanuts for the squirrels. If you come here a lot, you know the squirrels are super friendly and they love a good bite to eat. It's one of my favorite parks to go to with my family. Helpful tip: If you are parking in the boat parking area. Please don't park in the middle. They will ticket you. The middle is for people that have boats. The ticket guy will come by and give you a ticket. I've seen it happen plenty of times. There's not a big sign that say it but there is a sign on the far left.

It rained the day before and my feet were an inch deep into the grass and mud, which were filled with geese poop. There is a bathroom and a big field to walk around in.

First thing I suggest is to make sure they are running the trains, their schedule is only on select days so it's worth it to check it out before heading over. Second, get there early! We got here right at opening and the line was already getting long. Though it moved pretty quickly once the trains started running. And finally bring the kids lol, our two year old did just fine and he had a blast! The trains are easy to sit on and once it gets going there's plenty for the little ones to see. They operate via donations so keep that in mind and support this awesome service!

This park is currently on Phase 1 of development out of 3 phases. There is a phone number to call to check on future phases... I'm hoping it's soon! But for now, it's a great way to walk or run your miles. It's a pretty small area but has a one mile continuous loop which during this phase of development is about all you can do. There are small little side trails that look like nature trails but currently don't connect to anything. I'm sure once all development is complete, they will lead to a suspension bridge, lookout tower, wildlife area, etc. (according to their phase development bulletin board) but for now they don't. I don't advise veering off the main trail unless you have a good sense of direction to find your way back. It's nice and quiet and the one mile loop trail is pretty wide to where multiple people can be on it at one time and pass each other safely. There is a decent amount of parking. There are also toilets at the entrance. Please see the photos I've added, I hope they help!

The beach is a quick 5-8 minute walk from the campground, depending on where your spot is. And there's also plenty of hiking paths around the peninsula! I think we clocked in at 1.5 miles, but it's kind of steep in parts. My favorite part about the campsite was the tree cover. There was always shade throughout the day, which kept the temp cooler. It also lightly rained for several hours Saturday afternoon and then again over night, but with all the trees our picnic table stayed mostly dry and our tent didn't get too soaked! Overall, very beautiful park and campground. I want to come back and experience this place again

We took the battery and interpretive trails, nothing fantastic but still enjoyable with some nice bay views and little critters along the way. We ran into the campground host once who was very friendly and helpful. The day use area was good, with a large picnic building and lots of parking. Overall a nice, quiet stay and well-kept grounds.

I would be careful though, there are a c homeless drug addics who hand around that place. Some times I can hear this one guy screaming from down the hill. It's also super liminal at night, if you're into that kinda stuff. But I do not recommend for kids to come here alone and stuff cause of that one guy. there's also a field down the hill that's near the school building. It's really fun to go and hang out there, but that's also where the drug addict is. There's also a swing set that lost its swings. it makes me sad whenever I see it, because I love swings. It's also super liminal. If you head to a road that leads to the road net to the school building, there is a pot hole that's shaped like a heart. I think it's really aesthetic. Right next the park there's a giant patch of barren land. on the edge, there is a wall covered in graffiti. I went there with my little sister once and splattered old paint all over it. We also found an old wet porn mag on the floor. that was funny. I'm gonna make a backrooms level based off this park because it looks really liminal at night. I like this park.

And at choreagraphed times, each fountain explodes with bursts of water from the top, one at a time, which is also symbolic of the volcanic activity in the area (think of Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier/Tahoma as they are active volcanoes). It was a hot, summer weekday when I visited and there were some families with their kids enjoying the water in the fountains. It's a nice way to spend an summer afternoon by the water.
