Small playground, unfortunately all exposed to the sun, making it hot and hard to keep little ones out long. One bench and one picnic table allow for mini gatherings, but bring a blanket and there is space enough for everyone! Friendly neighborhood as we were kindly and respectfully greeted by a teenage boy walking through, along the one path. Ample street parking! One paved path from the street to the playground, through the grassy expanse, with a fork towards the break in the fence, presumably for the homes/neighbors. Great, cozy spot for a road trip break!

Perfect location to get in the water, and it was so nice to paddle around the lake. Great inexpensive activity and awesome way to spend the day or even just an hour! The owner is super cool and helpful and made it super easy for us to get started and head out in the water. Highly recommend this as a day-time activity if you're in town for a show!

Troy was right on time, and more than patient with us as some of our group was late arriving. He didn't start our two hour rental time until we were in the water. He even helped our friends who brought their own kayaks carry them down to the put-in point and back to the cars when we were done! Additionally, he gave us a great recommendation on where to go. On a perfect Saturday, we had that part of the lake to ourselves. All in all, it was a great experience and I would absolutely rent from him again.

This is a big lovely park on the side of I-90 in Moses Lake…read more There are mostly pros, especially in the size (it's huge!) and the variety of things to do here. Even on abuts weekend with a wedding taking place in part of the park, it doesn't feel crowded. There are gazebos galore, 3 buildings with facilities, grills, a playground, a dock, a basketball court, a swimming area and tiny beach, and a disc golf course. You can reach it by the bike path or car. Cons: the freeway is loud in the park proper if you're seeking a quiet place, but I wouldn't call it too obnoxious. I haven't been on a weekday, but on a mid-Sunday in summer, be prepared to pack out your garbage because all cans will be full (and I didn't see places for recycling). If you're an avid disc golfer like S., the course might be a disappointment, say a 2-3 star. There are only nine holes, all par three, and if you are here during a normal summer afternoon, most holes will be obstructed by other park-goers, as it's all incorporated right into the park. But it's a good place to practice, and if you arrive early, especially on weekdays, you can get in a full round. For me, it's great for a summer in-town getaway.

A charming little fountain adds a soft, soothing soundscape to the experience. Though seating is limited, there are a few well-placed benches where you can pause and take in the calm surroundings. The zen garden areas feature carefully raked sand, textured stones, and layered designs that invite stillness and reflection. You'll also find stone pagoda-like statues, stacked stone towers, and miniature trees that complete the traditional Japanese aesthetic. It's a lovely, peaceful retreat--perfect for a slow stroll, quiet contemplation, or simply enjoying a moment of calm. While it's not large, its thoughtful design and serene atmosphere make it well worth the visit.

The park offers amenities: public restrooms in a building and some port-o-potties; outdoor shower to remove the grime (that gets in EVERY crack); covered picnic tables. It also has some grassy areas for recreation and a playground for the kids. Plus, there's a touch of culture, with what professes to be the first human figure sundial. The sand is rocky in and out of the water, and the water is shallow, good for keeping it fails warm and for wading quite a ways out. It was nice to slather ourselves in the clay and let it bake in before rinsing it off. But be warned, the sulfur in the water and clay will keep you and anything you wear smelling even after a thorough washing. So I wouldn't plan a nice evening out after ;-) We look forward to going back for more fun this summer, after we check out some other local beaches.

There is a bath house, Beach Access, Picnic Tables and a huge Bronze & Basalt Sundial. It's a great place to stop and play or even plaster yourself in the healing mud from the lake. Swimming is easy as you float easier because of all the minerals in the water. We made a specific trip here during our vacation. Daughter and her kids played in the healing waters while wife read a book in the shade and I took the nap I really needed. Unfortunately, I took too long of a nap and missed laying in the water :( I guess I'll have to go back next year. This is the 3rd time we've come here and it is always worth a repeat visit when you are in the area.

Our trailer/truck combo is under 25ft, and there was no way to easily back in. Thankfully, the evening-host (Mike) saw us struggling, and told us to pick any other spot that might work. Hardly anyone else was even there so we wound up take taking two spots, wink wink. Be advised, spots 34 to 53 are beautifully grassy, mostly level-ish, and on the upper side---having quite the drop off to the lower level. Actually, every site, RV or tent, were beautiful grass. Tent camping would be awesome, here. Bill is the day host, and like Mike, is friendly and helpful to all. All-in-all an amazing place from Moses Lake Parks & Rec...

Whether you're tossing a frisbee, playing yard games, or simply lounging by the water, there's room to relax and have fun. On July 4th and other major holidays, the park really comes to life--families and friends gather for barbecues, kids splash near the shore, and you can often spot boats cruising across the lake. It's a wholesome, welcoming space that's perfect for creating memories and soaking in the joy of simple outdoor moments.
