The stretch overlooking Willamette Falls near the VFW parking lot is my favorite, boasting stunning views of Willamette Falls. In addition, the pollinator garden with lavender, poppies and other colorful flowers makes my heart skip a beat in the spring and early summer months. There's no better site in town for an impromptu picnic or an afternoon stroll.

I parked on High St, and accessed the Prom from the backside (via an alley), or take the Municipal Elevator to the top and hang a right to get onto the Promenade. Walking south/west toward the Falls, you'll pass a couple of benches, little pocket parks and several overlooks, all great spots to stop and take it all in. All in all, a short but pretty enjoyable stroll with nice views.

Basic hygiene, people. The play structure area is okay... It's popular and I've found that it tends to feel crowded because of the way it's laid out-- people get bunched up at a couple of pinch-points. Also, there's almost always older kids here who aren't very respectful of younger kids and they bump into and scare my child who is just getting comfortable. As such, we usually head to the nearby play structures at the elementary school. Less popular, more space. There's almost always old folks playing pickle ball here-- they have a popular league.

We did forget our cooler but other people were well prepared and we're quick to provide us with anything we asked for out of basic necessity like one single bottle of water. we were going out on a standard little inflatable boat, nothing fancy and we were out on the water for maybe an hour, but we did give up and go in because the jet skis are an issue. Everyone has a jet ski, there's so many jet skis! As we were packing up, the sheriff showed up and was starting to crack down on them, looking at lifejackets and parking permits, and some of them were starting to leave thank goodness, but we had already had our fill of their noise. Several of the jet skis were coming extremely close to our boat, which of course we don't have the reactivity that they do since we were motorless, and it felt incredibly uncomfortable overall. The view was gorgeous for three dollars. It was a fun experience and I definitely would come back and enjoy looking at other parts of the park. If you come prepared in the morning and set up a clear space for you and your loved ones this could be a fun all day experience, but don't be afraid to stand your ground against the jet skiers as They need to follow the rules and respect everyone's boundaries and safety. There was plenty of parking and there's a vault toilet on site by the bar so that was convenient too.

What more do you expect to find at a park? I like that there is also a huge grass field on the side we usually enter, because that allows Re (my grandson and the reason for going) to run with Gnof (my Irish terrier dog). If he falls then, the number of tears will at least be limited. Around that grass field there is a trail for running or active walking--nice!

It's easy to find because it's right off the main road but it's back enough that you don't have to worry about your kids running out to the street. There is a variety of options for every age group. They have an exceptional play structure that caters to both middle age children and younger kids. The water park area is awesome because they have a variety of different types of spray but none of them spout so fully that you can't run in and grab your child from a almost anywhere in the fountain without getting wet yourself. They have a nice covered picnic area and Fields for ballgames. The only problem that I had in the whole park was when my one-year-old climbed on the play structure and my two-year-old ran over to the high slides it was difficult for me to chase both. Definitely a great park to check out with your family if you're in West Linn.
