The way they designed the playground makes it so a 3/4 year old can play with a 8 year old very well. Plenty of swings, and other small things for them to play on as well. This park has bathrooms, a gazebo with picnic tables for birthday parties or w/e and plenty of parking. You can also walk across street and there is a cliff view for pictures. This makes it a good spot for people visiting Washington. This is also the park a lot of people go to on the fourth of July to watch fireworks.

We encountered a group of (unfriendly) young women in hoop skirts, a photo shoot where a Dad was slowly twirling his daughter the bride while a photographer captured the moment (so sweet!), interesting sculptures, and volunteers tidying garden beds, who chatted with my Mom as though they had been friends forever. I've found that people have varied reactions when encountering a person with dementia; I'm always grateful when people spend a few minutes chatting with my Mom. Across the street is a great overlook park with picnic tables and benches that all had great views over the harbor.

The wooden walkway on the wetlands is what makes this park unique. In a couple spots, the boardwalk does sway a bit and has small slopes that end in little puddles of water on the path (which I thought was awesome but I can see some people not liking this), but for the most part it's dry, flat, and stable for pedestrians on foot. It's not a huge park, but I think we spent at least 45 minutes exploring it. When we got to the end of the boardwalk, it turned into a gravel road that seemed to lead up to a small farm or something and a road... so we had to turn around to get back to where we started. It is not a loop. That's my only complaint. It's a simple walk with maybe not the most spectacular, but still pleasant views. The tall grass in the fields remind me of the Midwest (where I'm originally from), so it captures my heart.

The wetland boardwalk is one of my favorites, and a bit nostalgic as I grew up in the south surrounded by marshes. Unfortunately, safety is now a concern being that there have been encampments nestled into the corners of the boardwalk we've stumbled into; we quietly but quickly walked back towards the entrance. Overall, North Creek Park is a nice and very clean park for families to enjoy.

Once you're there, though, you'll find a well-kept parking lot and grounds, with the swiftly flowing Snohomish River as the perfect view for a contemplative dog walk, a jog, lunch inside your car, meditation on a bench, or a picnic in the open-air structure that houses several tables. While we were there on a Tuesday afternoon there were only two or three other cars there. We didn't stay long but it was nice to have lunch here and take a short walk afterward. Even the bathroom was well maintained. Views of the wilds of Ferry Baker Island and the ever changing water of the river make this a special place not too far from home. Bonus: the animal shelter is right down the street. You can adopt or donate after you enjoy the views!

There's a lot to like about this park. My two biggest problems with it though are parking and drainage. There are maybe a dozen parking spaces for the park and the parking lot itself is relatively narrow. So what that means is on a nice day there's a good chance that you'll get there and there won't be any parking available and turning around will be problematic. There is residential parking on the backside of the park, but it can be hard to find if you're unfamiliar with the area. You're better off parking at the elementary school down the street and walking over, rather than trying to find the side-street parking. The draining problem is my biggest problem with the park. There is a large grassy field, which is perfect for running around and different "ball" sports; however, the park definitely holds onto all recent moisture for far too long. I've been to the park a number of times 3+ days after it's rained, when temperatures have been well over 70+ degrees and our feet end up getting soaked through our shoes if we spend too much time in the grass - there's also a chance of "slippage" as well if running through it too. The covered picnic areas are spacious, though both are in a "dark" area and look a little bit dirty. Because of the drainage problems, there sometimes are puddles, with what looks like oil (?) deposits in it as well - so we've had to keep children away from those a number of times. The play area is nice - there are two sets of swing sets and a small and large slide. I feel like the play area could be bigger, due to the size of the park and the population of Lynnwood, but it's not bad. There is also a small sprinkler area with a handful of sprinklers for children on a hot day. All-in-all, it's not a bad park to check out, but it definitely has its flaws.

There are a few benches right as you pull in that have a nice view of scenery. As you walk down a semi steep slope, you are met with open field and a few lakes. We kept walking straight which led us onto a trail. There were many branches and obstructions on the path so just be careful! We stopped and had a beautiful view of a private beach along the river. I'm glad I stopped here with my family. It was good exercise and a lovely time spent with Mother Nature.
