Hidden gem of a playground!…read more I've lived just a couple miles from here for years and never knew this place existed until I accidently stumbled on it this week. It's a beautiful and spacious park (5 acres total) with: -2 LARGE open grass spaces -A small, circlular walking path (away from the playground mostly) -2 baseball diamonds (1 with a cage & small bleachers, 1 just inside the grass, almost hidden) -Several benches and picnic tables, some of them under shelter -A nice playground The playground: -Very good size (not giant, but not tiny) -Looks-like-new equipment -Lots of different climbing structures -Several slides -A separate area for swings (2 standard, 2 bucket/toddler swings) -Bark flooring No parking lot but street parking on all sides. This is in a very low traffic area (speed limit 25) and the park itself seems not to ever be very crowded so parking should not be an issue. Named in dedication of Sam Peach, former Puyallup School District teacher, Superintendent and city Mayor (1980's). Definitely will be back!

The park itself is spacious and very well-maintained. There's the big playground, a splash pad (already turned on for the summer!), and the pavillion. If you've never gone to the market here (Saturdays 9am-2pm) you need to go. It's huge and Pioneer Park is the prettiest setting for it! My kids definitely love the playground but it does scare me. The structure here is SO HIGH. My toddler is a daredevil and loves to go to the top which terrifies me. They do have a smaller structure meant for toddlers that is great, but just note that if you have a child that is similar to mine, you might need to prepare for major anxiety. There is a good deal of parking nearby next to the library, but usually I get lucky with street parking not too far, too. I love the location of this park because it's so close to several coffee shops, an ice cream spot, and a few other delicious restaurants. Overall a great park to visit especially going into the summer.

We sat at a picnic table, walked the path, then left. I'm never against any park, but there's not much to it. There's a playground with a nice grassy field, but one family playing soccer kinda took up the whole space. Don't walk around here with flip flops- the bark and the pine needles had a way of staying inside the flip flip and not leaving my foot. That was super irksome. There was an ant hill with very large ants that our dogs almost ran into but we somehow saw it in time to stop them.

Good park off of Bridgeport Way W in University Place! There is a fair amount of area to utilize…read morethe trails here but it's not such a big park where you could become overwhelmed or disoriented with the amount of trails and paths to walk. The park isn't as big as it looks once you start walking but the large forested charm is what won me over to go in here in the first place. There's some equipment for small children and some nice, short trails for the adults.

Public Park??? Not really!…read more I'm not prone to giving bad reviews but after a year of trying to go to this park, I think they deserve what I'm about to say . The good news is that it is small, quiet and great place to go walking or walk your dog or have a nice meal at one of the benches.... but only when you can get in. The bad news is that it's closed to the public almost 80% of the year unless you go to one of the paid events that they hold there. While I understand that they have events for 4-H and the yearly fair they hold there. They have a bunch of other events that they shut the entire park down to the general public for. Don't get me wrong .... I'm all about having events for the public. But when it's one of the only parks within about 20 miles of where we live and we like to go there, but the gates are usually shut because they're setting up for some event 80%+ times of the year, we just have gotten used to not even going there anymore. It would be really nice if the county would make a park where citizens could go to relax, walk and play regularly. Simply not fair to the taxpayers who pay for this park and cannot use it regularly.

There must have been over 200 cars registered for the car show, so the venue is large. The bathrooms were clean and had multiple stalls. There were also a few individual unisex bathrooms available.

Ridiculous I drove my two sons down here and my husband to go swimming. I did not have a bathing…read moresuit with me so I was going to sit and watch them while they swim. I looked on their website. There's nothing that mentions that you cannot watch without a ticket. It's just a basic swimming pool with some waves in it. I was told I would not be allowed in unless I paid the $10 ticket. This could easily be solved by having a wristband that shows who's watching and who's participating. The lady at the desk was incredibly rude and said no you're wrong. It's two adults you're paying for and I told her again that I just wanted to watch. She said you can't go and watch without a ticket that you have to pay for. Why would I want to pay the same fee as my husband just to go in and sit?

This place is pretty cool and a great place to spend a day with some young relatives. It has a…read moreplayground, small spray park, ice cream/concession stand and a community pool. The parking lot shares space with a police substation so it feels really safe and everything seems really clean and nicely upkept. The park appears much larger on the map than I have checked out and appears to include a skate park as well. There are tables available to enjoy a picnic, or to simply sit while you watch children enjoy the playground. I did find the spray area to be a little underwhelming, but the playground equipment seemed newer and unique. The pool is a very good reason to come to this location. They are currently doing limited sessions due to lifeguard shortage, but its only 7$ for 2 hours. Best of all the wave pool is heated and feels amazing on a hot day. There are some water squirting things and one of those large buckets that dump water on everyone's heads. Lifejackets are available for use. On the day I visited there was plenty of room for everyone to occupy a table or lounger. It appears that the grassy hill next to the wave pool is a good location to set up and bring your own chairs, blankets, etc. There's a 1 ft wading pool that I mistook for a hot tub and was a little disappointed by, but likely great for smaller children. I also really liked that they have children complete swim tests and give them a bracelet to tell others what areas of the pool they are allowed to be in. My 7 yr old nephew insisted he could swim, but it was nice to have someone official reinforce that he needed to stay with adults or before a certain point.

There's a dock and pedestrian bridge area where many people fish or disembark from a boat. There's also plenty of picnic areas, pergolas, and grassy areas with shade where you can take food, read, or just have a conversation and relax. I also observed a dog park in close proximity as well as unleash areas in and around the park. My only complaint was that I had an encounter with a gaggle of aggressive geese that left me kind of uneasy, but other than that, it was a fairly calm environment.

Some of these paths link ip to the BPA Trail, a walking and bicycling path.

There's a covered picnic area with tables and a couple bbqs for small parties or just for lunch or lounging around. They have a skateboard area that is pretty decent in size and my sons never had trouble finding a spot to ride around. Oddly enough, the kids that come to this park always seem to be a lot more open to playing together with other kids more so than most other parks we've been to. Maybe it's the way the playground is designed, it brings kids together for fun more than just independent playground playing. They have swings and tennis courts too! One of our favorite parks to visit and it's always been kept clean when we go. Also close to a bit of shopping and restaurants but the park is far enough off the main roads that I don't worry about any incidents. Near nearby neighborhoods are upscale and suburban area with little to no crime.
