I drive into this park on a whim last weekend and think I've found a gem hidden in Olympia,…read moreliterally minutes from downtown. Straddling Boston Harbor Road, the park has a bridge that connects both sides of the sprawling property. On the East side of the park, you immediately feel like you've driven into a forest. Big and old trees line the park roadway. Several picnic areas are available, I assume by reservation, at least for the covered areas. I found a restroom building and took advantage. This place is well maintained. More picnic areas. Nd two more restroom buildings are on the West side of the park, and so is the Sound. Lots more parking, and a kids playground. Squaxin has something for everyone. Lots of hiking paths on both sides of the park that are now on my to do list. Squaxin is an oasis in Olympia!

There is a small parking lot with a 2-hour parking limit. If you don't want to drive, you can easily walk from the DASH bus stop at the Farmer's Market. The bridge nearby offers a great view of the harbor. The landscaping is very nice! The walkways are easy to manage and the whole area is nicely maintained. I'm very glad there are drinking fountains near the bathrooms. There are quite a few places to sit. There are benches and picnic tables available. On hot days, all the spaces are taken. It doesn't really matter since the lawn is a fantastic place to picnic during nice days. The trees offer shade during hot days. Kids are always out playing in all weather conditions. The playground includes equipment for toddlers to 4-year-olds and equipment for 5 to 12-year-olds. The only slides available are for the younger children. There are swings for both younger and older kids. The most popular pieces of equipment are the tall cargo netted merry-go-rounds. There are two available: One is a two level merry-go-round for older kids and the other one is a slower one level merry-go-round for younger kids. Percival Landing Playground is a fantastic playground for younger kids. Small kids (older babies to pre-school) can easily maneuver the smaller equipment themselves. Kids who are five and over enjoy playing on the climbing-bar/small jungle gym. This playground might be a bit small for older kids who like climbing equipment or larger slides. Most of the older kids pile on the large merry-go-round and have a great time. The playground is semi-accessible in a wheelchair. If the wheelchair is sturdy and can do a bit of off-roading, you might be okay. I would not suggest tooling around in a transfer chair. I've seen both transfer chairs and 2-wheel walkers get stuck in the chips. The bathrooms are very nice and are handicap accessible. The overall space inside the bathroom is a tad small. It can get crowded if you have multiple children or need assistance in the restroom. I enjoy this playground and will be back often.

This park is kept up nice. It's right off Ruddle Rd. and on bus 66 and possibly bus 68 routes. I…read moretravel bus 66 so know it runs thru there. I have seen 68 on the bus stop stickers however know nothing about that bus because I never use it. The park opens up off of Ruddle Rd with a nice walkway. There is a small pond like yet cleaner water way immediately on your left as you stroll through the opening of the park. Some water fowl eagerly await to greet the average walker. Did I say eagerly awaiting water fowl and average walker?? Well look out!! Some of those water fowl are protecting THEIR home so be ready to hustle your bustle ye average walker!! If not, you just might get pecked and encouraged by a fowl or two to step firmly and quickly away from them and walk on your way through the park. After all, some of nature's joys are best observed in their own habitats. The park is large and kept clean. It certainly is its own invitation to frequent this wonderful nest for animals and humans alike. There are restrooms, kept clean and an area where you can get poo bags for "Fido" in case you need them. The grass is so green and plush. Kept nice, mowed and trimmed. Lots of places to kick a ball around. Trees are blooming so for me, that means another trip to this wonderful park!! I am curious to smell what I have yet to see.

Luckily it was one of the few days of sunshine and good weather in WA, so I could enjoy laying in the grass. There is something here for everyone. BBQ grills, rugby/soccer fields, baseball/softball fields, basketball courts, trails, doggie doo bags, public restrooms, sand volleyball courts, tennis courts, picnic shelters, child & toddler playgrounds and a skate park. It's very well kept and still looks brand new even though it's been around since 2004 I believe. Check this place out before summer is over.

So after my first review, Fengie O. came to the rescue regarding the disappointment I originally…read morefelt about Bigelow Park. Thanks to her kind instructions, I found that I had gone to the wrong park. I actually visited a small patch of land next to someone's house and thought that was the park. I was obviously off my meds that day. Anyway, this park is major cute and nice for the kids or if you wanted to grill out. The amount of space between the grill stations is sufficient enough to not make you feel like you're encroaching on someone else's territory. There is also a decent amount of kids equipment. It all looks pretty safe and there is even a single basketball net on the half court. The park is surrounded by huge trees that in a way hide the grounds and provide ample shade. There are also unisex restrooms on site and doogy doo bags for life's little messes. It's definitely a nice park now that I actually went to the right one. Thanks Fengie.

Guess who finally moved near Bigelow Park? That's right--I did! I can walk to the park from my…read morehouse. It's a decent sized park. The equipment is appropriate for children 12 months old to 11 years old. Some children who have limited mobility can enjoy the play structures. The wide stairs are set near the ground so children can transfer out of wheelchairs and climb into parts of each structure. My oldest kid will play football with her friends, but my 2 year old likes to hide in the tube connected to the small play structure and scream! In addition to the 2 play structures, there are also two spinning toys. One is shaped like a cup. Kids sit in it and spin around. The other is a pole with a platform. 2 children get on the platform and spin each other. There are swings for babies and for older children. The swings for the older children are set near the basketball court. The swings for the younger children are closer to the main play area. A tire swing is attached to the large play structure. The park is surrounded by a grassy area. It's fun to play soccer or football. Keep in mind the area is not fenced. One of the grassy sides of the park is right next to a moderately busy road. It's good to keep an eye on younger children. The parking area is a decent size. I've seen 6 minivans parked with room to spare. There are also at least 2 large handicap parking spaces. The bathrooms are a decent size. There is a drinking fountain, a covered area for picnicking and a few picnic tables. If all the picnic tables are taken, it's a lovely place to lay a blanket down and have a sit down picnic.
