I did 20 minutes on my exercise bike before I left the house but felt I needed a really good walk somewhere outdoors too so I came here and it was a decent enough place to get in a good 25-30 minutes of walking time. This park is definitely catered more to families as there were lots of kids playing a variety of sports or having fun with friends in the play area so if you have children or just looking to walk your dog this could be a great place to take them. There were also stations set up to do a variety of exercises which is pretty cool. I prefer my local park "Wild Wood" in Puyallup but it was nice to go somewhere I've never been before and Gig Harbor is a beautiful city. A couple young missionaries approached me towards the end of my walk to invite me to their church which I'm not local and church isn't really my thing to begin with but they were friendly and not as pushy as others I've come across over the years so it wasn't off-putting. Next time I'm around the Gig Harbor area I may come back for a short walk here but would like to see other parks are around the area.

It was a lot of fun to come back again years later with my 2yo daughter. They have recently done a complete renovation on the play area of the park. It is all done in a maritime theme perfect for the little quaint town of Gig Harbor. It has a big toy boat to climb in and on with slides, bells, sea life scavenger hunt & more. There is also a sand box, swings, buoys to swing on, climbing toys, etc. It has a rubber surface in the play area. It's very "little kid" friendly which I was impressed with. This park also has a covered area with a sink & running water, picnic tables & BBQs which is great for get togethers. The bathrooms have flush toilets and were very clean. It has a drinking fountain, but wasn't working when we went. It does have some shady areas for escaping the heat. It also has walking trails, wildlife viewing, baseball field, tennis & basketball courts, and of course the creek it was named after :)

The playground is split into an older kids side and a younger kids side, with 1 entry (and a fence surrounding). Visibility isn't perfect but the single entry point is great if you want to stand in the middle to keep an eye on kiddos. Great spot for play dates (come with a coffee!). There are portapotties at the park and a real restroom a small walk down the path. Park is great for kids to use their imaginations and play, which is so much fun. Great spot to bring a ball and play catch or picnic to sit and relax or bikes! Can get hot - wear sunscreen if the weather is nice. Friends said it's also fun to bring bikes or a stroller and hit up the cafe (a bit of distance from the playground) and have some sweet potato fries.
