So much to do and so much fun activities for the kids!!…read more They fixed the playground so there were additional games the kids can do. The best part is you can visit their website and you can check if the water is okay for the kids to play with . There's usually an update regarding if you can swim and such. The only thing I'm worried about is when there is no one there to facilitate the other kids swimming, because I noticed there were lots of kids who goes there without their parents or guardians. The cops do come around for their rounds sometimes, but not all the time . I always have my eyes on my kids because there were sooooooo many people and soo many kids during school break holidays and I can't even imagine summer break. If you want to entertain your kids for hours bring them here and just have a picnic and enjoy the sand with the kids. Don't forget the shovel and bucket though lol.

I went to Steel Lake Park for a Pokémon Go event and I really liked this park a lot! Steel Lake is…read morepretty but surrounded by housing so the feel of nature is lessened somewhat. Nice pier that goes over some of the lake to take in veiws and to fish. Nice swimming area and it was busy with kids occupying the area but I still felt it was too nippy outside to really enjoy the water. The Funland part is kind of an elaborate wood jungle gym which looks like a great place to let kids play in. Plenty of room in the park to spread out and and do picnics and just hang out. The weekend I went the park was popular with all of it's amenities including a snack vendor which was in the building where the restrooms were next to the lake. Parking isn't too bad but I was a little bit concerned if I was going to find a spot but there are two lots that you can use and the one towards the entrance to the park is bigger. Nice outing and glad I made it here as I had it on my list but I am glad I went when I did because in midsummer heat I am sure this park is super busy!

West Hylebos Wetlands Park was a quiet and windy place when I visited on the morning of Saturday 9…read moreMarch 2024. I arrived to find the parking lot open and with plenty of available spaces, which was a relief after driving past a couple times the day before and seeing the lot full. When I was leaving after walking the path(s), I found another group was arriving. The park has walking path(s), historical buildings with informational placards, and benches spread out along the walking paths. The vegetation in bloom was varied on my morning stroll and I found the quiet of the park grounds peaceful. Looking up as I neared the water, I noticed a small black, white, and red woodpecker land above eye level in a tree. The bird hopped around the tree a little bit and found a pocket in the tree to search for food in. It continued to forage in that one spot for a few minutes before looking around the same tree for another food spot.

Town Square Park in Federal Way is such a great place for families and kids. There's so much open…read morespace for children to run around and play, and the splash area during the summer makes it even more fun. It's nice having a community park that feels welcoming for everyone. Definitely one of our favorite spots to spend time outdoors with the kids. The only downside to it is the bathroom it can get messy and gross since it's open to the public so make sure to always go with your kids and double check your surrounding for random people going in. Other than that, it's always a fun trip whenever we go there for a short playtime or family picnic. Not to mention, they do have basketball court and a place to rent if you need gatherings for parties and such.

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

It was a pretty small space, but decided to give it a try for a few hours. Was able to catch some fish, but it took a while longer than expected. The water was calm and serene.
