    Shady spots to post up all along the water feature!
    Hannah A.

    LOVELY PARK! I don't have any close up photos that exclude the kids faces that I use to nanny's....but I just love this park! It's very clean and just a walk from the playground is the water feature+splash pad which is perfect for the summer. There is enough shade, picnic tables, bathrooms, covered areas, grassy areas...it has everything. The playground part has a huge structure that looks like a barn, complete with a little "pen" that has a springy horse that seats one, in the middle (it's like a mechanic bull situation but for 10 and under ). There's a different section that is friendlier for younger kids, and a huge slide (it was closed for repairs the times we went but didn't take away with how fun it was there!) Even the water feature seems clean which can be hard to do since it's more natural cement style. I will say the ONLY downside is that it can be a little more slippery because of the materials...just make sure your kiddos actually listen when you say "no running" or they might bang up their knees! Never have an issue with parking or finding an area to set up a blanket.

    Very fun park with lots of activity's for kids and also trails to walk. Took my niece and nephew here, they had such a blast, the play structure were very cool. There was quit a bit of people at the play ground and also walking around. They had parking right next to the play ground. They also had a dog park near by for all those 4 legged parents fun experience and highly recommend if your looking for a place to enjoy the outdoors or have a little picnic.

    Beautiful park, it has a bit of everything: trails, playground and athletic fields/splash pad. Great summer spot!

    Beautiful park grounds with playground and walking trails. Very well kept & plenty of parking. We will definitely frequent this gorgeous little slice of nature.

    Water features - Murase Plaza - upper park

    I love this park. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this park. I want to give it six stars instead of five. It is huge, and it has so many different areas to it. What I call the upper park, which is Murase Plaza and the adjacent spaces, has its own parking lot (entrance opposite the library parking lot). Murase Plaza itself has an enormous, wonderful water feature with different parts - a dancing fountain; a 'white water' river/channel that all but the newest walkers can handle - my son at maybe 20 months did okay in it and at 2 he adores it; cascades and waterfalls down rock faces. I know some people worry that it's so close to traffic - but several parts of it aren't, and you can move to those areas if you feel safer. I've never seen a kid head for traffic, they are all too busy focussed on the water, and it leads them downstream and away from the traffic. (And if you're wondering at how there's no one in the photos I got of the water feature there - I deliberately went on one of the cold, windy, slightly gray days we got this spring, when I was pretty sure it would be devoid of kids. It's usually PACKED with them on a hot sunny day, and I wanted to show the actual water feature.) There's also a picnic shelter near the fountains, and an expanse of rolling grassy hills. Over by the parking lot, well away from the fountain, is a gorgeous playground with a really tall slide built into the side of a man-made hill. The kids love it, I love that they don't have to climb a ladder to get to it, letting my 2-year-old take part with way more independence than a ladder would allow. There are also swings, including a fun new play-style swing for the younger set. A merry-go-round alternative that is a spinning, slightly off-level (deliberately) padded bench that is a lot of fun. "Rock climbing" structures, a balance beam, and a very cool webbed climbing structure for the older kids. And of course a teeter-totter. As much as I love that area, the lower park or main park (entrance further along the same road) is also gorgeous. It includes ball fields, tennis courts, a small playground with more traditional equipment (two sets, one for older kids and one for younger), but still more imaginative than the "standard" sets. There's also a tire swing and a collection of music instruments (xylophone, bell, drum-like structure, chimes) built in. Further down in that same park are several picnic areas including covered shelters that groups can rent; walking trails that lead through the woods and some down to the river; and access to the river including a dock. They are far enough from the playground area that there is no worry of a small child wandering off to them while your back is turned, at least not successfully, but you can drive back to a further-in lot and access them easily without having to walk much at all. The distance also means that the sounds of ball games and the playground aren't at all present in the picnic shelters or river area - if there are shrieking kids, it'll be because they're in the picnic shelters or river area - usually giving a nice buffer for people who would prefer to enjoy a quieter park. And for those who like to hike, there are fairly extensive trails connecting the two parts of the park also. You can spot-access the area you're interested in by car with a bit of walking, or you can make a day of walking and enjoy yourself that way. This park has SO MANY options, and they are SO wonderful.

Theoretically, there is also a free boat dock, but at the time of writing, a very large tree is fallen across it. Restrooms and garbage are maintained by Oregon State Parks. When I visited, it was pretty clean. The trail along the river is very pretty, although I was only able to access about a mile of it before it got too flooded to hike through. I noticed lots of poisonous plants including poison oak, snowberries, and hemlock. But also tons of moss, lichens, and ferns. In addition to the picnic tables in the picnic areas, there were also several solitary tables set out along the river. This is great for a more solitary picnic, taking a break during a long bike ride, or getting some privacy for drawing or Journaling. Overall just about as good as it gets for free.

They don't have any trail maps posted, however, so we weren't sure of the distance of the trails or where they went. One trail follows close to the river, and that was nice, with a mix of open sun and shaded forest. The trails were mostly flat dirt or gravel, no strenuous inclines. There's a large off-leash dog exercise area. Dogs are supposed to be on a leash in the rest of the park, but sadly most owners were just letting their dogs run the trails off-leash. They have picnic tables & a good, clean restroom facility as well.

    Great park for kids | water play & events…read more This is an excellent place to let your kids, of all ages, go and get their energy out. It's right across the street from the library, which is also another great family-friendly place to frequent. If you're a mom looking to find places where you can let your kids play and get out of the house, this is your spot. There is a little library stand where people can pick a book and give another in return. I love these because it really adds to the sense of community and help share the love for learning/reading. The first play set is more for the younger kids, up to 5 yrs old. The second play set is more for the 5-12yr olds, but as long as you're watching your baby in the bigger kid area, you'll be fine. One thing I like is the seesaw because kids work together to accomplish the seesaw effect. It's a hit! Another great feature is the super long slide! Kids love this as well. They're currently doing construction at the park, adding another neat structure and should be done soon. A few hundred feet away are two bucket swings. I like that the flooring is the recycled rubber unlike the main play area with tan bark. I wish the parks in town didn't have tan bark. It gets everywhere, mushrooms grow in it, and you get splinters. During the summer, you'll see the splash pad turned on for kids to enjoy. It's a great way to have fun outside cooling down from hot summer heat. A lot of kids walk on top of those big blocks and it makes me nervous, so I recommend this for older kids. If you have younger kids, I recommend the Korean Memorial Park splash pad.

I had to use the restroom while I was there. First, at a park that has a play-set for 2-year-olds (never mind kids who have siblings), there's no baby changing table. And second, there's no soap dispenser. Not just no soap, no way to supply it. There's an air dryer (no towels)...in other words, nothing to keep stocked. But no soap in the restroom? Ew. Otherwise it was fine, seemed well-maintained, etc. But uninspired. If you live close by it's likely worth it, but I wouldn't bother to drive there.
