After missing one of the parking areas, I turned up the road by a sign along the street for the park. Just up the road and to the right is a small parking area abutting a paved area with basketball hoops and benches, a small red restroom building, a skate park, and a playground. Mine was the only car in the parking lot both when I arrived and when I left. Up the hills by the skate park is a trail into the woods. On a stump just in the trees was a chickaree (North American red squirrel). In addition to the first red squirrel, I heard others calling from the trees as I walked. The trees along the trails are tall and provided protection from the rays of the sun. Shade cast on the ground was cool. Along the trails were different flowers in bloom and ripening salmonberries. In my approximately half an hour at the park, I encountered vocal sparrows, a rufous-sided towhee, a bunny rabbit, a gray squirrel, and foraging woodpeckers. All around an enjoyable morning adventure.

Plenty of trails through the hillside from 197th or on the main street. The trail has widened and gotten paved as well around the back end of the park and around the reservoir, which makes for a good 2 mile run or for dog walkers. The neighborhood is pretty quiet and a parking lot up front.

We parked by the street because it was busy! We also had lunch by the picnic tables and played in the playground. It was very attractive for kids all ages. There were also a couple of summer camp groups.

The park also offers a small sandpit under the cover of a shelter. All of this AND a wading pool (open Sunday's and Monday's from noon until 7:00 thought the summer 2019)! It's truly a little known gem of a park and one we will be sure to return to!

The Creeks run through in between the houses in the overpacked neighborhood around the sacred area. The spring has now been piped so deep underground that there's no water in the bowl. There is and was a nice creek that had been rehabilitated and animals reintroduced native to the area as far as frogs and other things like salamanders and bird habitats Etc. Then the homeless started moving in and lots of drug use. I'm told you can't even go there now that you're literally walking through somebody's campsite if you go on to the trails. This park has a huge place in my heart but can no longer go to it because of the fact that you're walking through some of these living room instead of a park. There was a lot of fecal fecal matter / human. Needles and the expected unhygienic things of community not being cared for. It was sad enough for the spring dried up. Well it didn't really dry up it was piped because of the houses in the area. It makes me sick that we would go and take a beautiful piece of land that was so sacred the original European families like the Denny's the borans and others used to Camp there. It was literally wild for them. Now it's the wrong kind of wild. It's bad enough we took this land away from people now we're letting it be a garbage dump and that water goes into Lake Washington and then our ocean so it needs to be cared for I'd rather have people on this side of the freeway than in the Parks polluting the water. So sad. I wanted to take a friend there and then I thought what am I thinking this is a dumb.

Then again, I've never been after 2 PM or on a weekend, so maybe it is an issue during peak usage. I love the old timey quotes from people remembering the Interurban trolley (train? some bygone mass transit) and bench / metal statue commemorating it. Lots of pretty planters, a p-patch to explore on the upper level, and WIDE spaces for such a small-ish park. Lots of grass for pooches to run around, a great sand pit with tons of toys to borrow, couple swings and unique and new-fangled climbing equipment. They also have a more traditional area with your twisty slides, fireman pole, etc. This park also boasts a few picnic tables and lots of seating around the concrete planters and steps, so great picnic spot. Keep in mind there isn't any shade, though. Has restrooms and a water fountain.

Park is big. there is a play ground, swing set, walking track, large field, and a covered area with tables & benches. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean considering this is a public park. Parking lot is really small. Great place to hang with the kiddos or host a party. Kids will be good and tired at the end of the day.

The scenery is beautiful, and you can easily spend a good amount of time just walking around and enjoying the water. My only complaint is that I wish there was more parking. Other than that, it's one of my favorite spots to get outside less than 10m from my house

I often bring food from Buddha Brothas and eat with my family and the park benches are mostly clean. What I appreciate about Log Boom is that there is usually a Lake Forest park patrol car parked in the parking lot in case there is an accident. I have gone to other parks and law enforcement is non existent. I once saw a forklift with keys by the park and let a dispatcher know. I'm very pleased by this park. Great views, convenient, and perfect for all ages.
