    If I lived closer, I would be here more often. A nice park if you are in the area. Playground is amazing and clean with two areas one for big kids and another for little ones. There are 4 swings as well. Last Monday Memorial Day, there weren't many people enjoying the park so it's quite peaceful and enjoyable. I could imagine it getting a lot more use in prime times. This is just such a find and is worth the drive. My kids enjoyed it, we will definitely be back. This 54-acre, former King County Park is a beautiful addition to the City of Tukwila's park system. It was acquired in January of 2003  in partnership with Starfire Sports. The largest park in Tukwila. Considered the "go-to" park for many locals and families. Fort Dent offers many amenities, including two kiddo-approved play areas, soccer fields, picnic area, restrooms, hiking trails and open areas. The Fort Dent Bridge in another fun spot for families and a great place for photos. The park also hosts several sporting events throughout the year, including soccer, rugby, and ultimate frisbee matches.

    My 2&4 year old love this place :)

    This park is one of my kid's favorite. The location is away from the street so it's kinda quiet, and they have lots of fun stuff for kids to play with. I love that they have 2 separate play areas depend on kids age. Smaller one is perfect for young toddlers. And, bonus point is that they have the duck pond behind and you can bring bread or something to feed the ducks. Ducks will come close to you to get food! You can also see airplanes and helicopters flying by, trains will goes by right in front of you, and sometimes you get to see people practicing soccer(the play ground area is surrounded by soccer fields)....so yes very entertaining place. Also they have bathroom, which is always clean :)

    Two awesome play areas, duck pond in the back.

    When I'm in the area and need to pass some time with the kids, this is where I go. I found this spot on accident one day with my daughter and it was awesome. You go over a little bridge and there is giant huge fields that look like soccer is mostly played there, they have an indoor recreational area as well. Once you drive down farther you notice a well kept playground and a tennis area behind and parking is everywhere. The playground is really nice and has two big areas to play on with a bunch of different slides with swings as well and some teeter totter toys. There is also a huge pond with lots of different ducks to feed. There is even more fields it looks like up from the playground passed the clean public restrooms. My kids love coming here to play, its big, clean and open and there is never really a lot of people there so the kids have plenty of options to choose to play on. The occasional eagle flying around is a nice treat and when the train comes by, my son loves when that happens. This is a really nice place to take the family to hang out and have some fun.

    Nice park with shade and pond. Helpful Exercise stations but slide and seesaw broken. Decent bathrooms but no soap.

    Paying to park just to get into Fort Dent/ Starfire is not ideal for a 1 hour trip. $7 to park. Decided not to go.

    Great park. My only negative is since its within Starfire - there's a lot of people and barely any parking.

    It's located inside Starfire Sports where all the soccer fields are so there were a lot of soccer kids playing at the playground when we went Sunday around 1:30pm.

You can tell that the entire vicinity is well taken care of because the garden is blooming and so beautiful. I came here around 4pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy at all. It's a nice stroll that can take you 45-1 hr and you can just feel lost but it is not a big place so it's perfect. It's a little getaway that makes you feel like you are in a different state or place but you're still in Seattle.

This garden is 2.7miles from the SeaTac airport. A wonderful stop to make prior to your flight, upon arrival or when in the area. Pets are welcome. Free admission. There's pathways throughout the park to enjoy the multitude of pretty flowers, trees and plants. You will be able to see the signage which reflects what's available: -Elda's paradise garden -Seiki Japanese garden -Rose garden -Daylily garden -Fuchia garden -Iris garden -Community garden The Japanese garden is magical. It is clean and very well maintained. There are some benches available to sit, relax and enjoy. There's a mini library next to one of the benches where you can sit within nature to read by yourself or read to your kids. It's beautiful all around. Check it out. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! =)

    I recently spent a mid-day hour and a half in this struggling city park. Its troubles persist, as…read moredoes its potential. The city prepared a master plan for the park in 2021-2022, a plan expected to take 30 years to fully implement. Motivation and budgets being what they are, it's fair to anticipate slow going. On my visit, trash, graffiti, and shady characters were evident but not overwhelming. Several locals walked the west edge, either passing through or taking a brief respite from the shopping district. Birds and butterflies lighten the space. The plantings are well established, but few flowers were blooming in late August. The pond, best viewed from the damaged overlook, was neither pretty nor putrid (the odds are against it with such impervious surroundings). A place like this needs community participation for ground-up improvement. The city's plan accounts for this but it was unclear from a single visit whether it's happening. Adjacent businesses encouraging employee volunteerism could make a huge difference. The master plan has it all: https://www.tukwilawa.gov/wp-content/uploads/Tukwila-Pond-Park-Master-Plan_2022-01-22.pdf
