We recently visited for one night. We stayed in one of the few open spots, right near the front of…read morethe campground. The only sections open for winter were the small section we stayed in and the open field area. Unfortunately for us, the sections closed for the season were the prettiest...much more treed and private feeling there. We enjoyed one hike, the boardwalk-old growth-orchard sections and back to the campground. Apparently there is some damage to parts of the trail system here, but those we took were in good shape, just a bit muddy. Although we didn't get around to the lake, it looked gorgeous when we passed by driving in. Aside from the site across from ours after the teens left that morning, the grounds were all very clean. Pretty area and park...although I probably would only return if I could stay in the closed sections. :)

Long Lake Park is one of our family's favorite spots to spend a sunny day in Lacey! The park has…read moresuch a peaceful vibe with its big open spaces, tall trees, and of course the beautiful lake. The swimming area is perfect for kids and families--it feels safe, clean, and the water is refreshing on hot days. We love that there's plenty of room for picnics, whether you want to grab a table or just spread out a blanket on the grass. The park gives kids plenty to do when they're not splashing in the lake. Parking can fill up quickly on nice days, but that just shows how popular the park is. Once you're set up, it's such a relaxing place to spend the day together as a family. We always leave feeling recharged and grateful to have such a gem right here in Lacey. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot to enjoy the sunshine, swimming, and some simple outdoor fun--Long Lake Park is a great choice!

Just fair warning, dogs are not allowed at the beach (on the gravel) but can be walked technically on the paved grounds and on the grass. It's a pretty small lake but has lots of grass and places to sit. Just gotta get there early if you want a good spot. Also no lifeguard is on duty there.

This park is small but has great access to the lake. It's kind of a weird location as it's right…read moreoff 26th Ave and Ruddell. There is a paved trail for biking or rollerblading or just plain ole walking. There are also several "off the beaten path" trails so you can kind of venture off into the more wooded area. It's not too overgrown with foliage though, so you'd have a hard time getting lost or injured (unless you're not paying attention). All the trails lead back to the paved trail so you have zero chance of getting lost and the back end of the park is fenced, as it faces a street, so it's so small you cannot get lost. Seriously. As mentioned, there is access to the lake. I think it's Hicks Lake, but I'm only going off the street name. You can feed the ducks or maybe go swimming. There obviously is no lifeguard and I'm not even sure you can go swimming here. Do your own research. After you're done swimming (if it's allowed), which I'm not sure how toxic the water is, you can come up the hill a bit and picnic on one of the two picnic tables. There are no pavilions or covered tables so it may not be the best when it's raining or if you're hosting a big party. You might want to try the Woodland Creek Community Park since they also have a community center for like if you're doing a wedding or something. http://www.yelp.com/biz/woodland-creek-community-park-lacey The parking area is small as well with maybe no more than 10 spots that are not angled. The general feel of this park is just enough to make you sit right after a short stroll. Hold your pee as there are no bathrooms, or just pee in the water or woods (don't hate). The park is well kept and there have trash cans and doggie doo bags. It's not as lengthy as I would like. I like to have at least 2 or 3 miles so I can burn off some energy. That's one reason I like Grandview Chambers Bay Bike and Hike Trail . Now that is a park! http://www.yelp.com/biz/grandview-chambers-bay-bike-and-hike-trail-university-place.
