Earthworks is a 107 acre public park in Kent which Mill Creek flows through. There are paved trails, a restroom, and an amphitheater. Apparently the 'Earthworks' were designed by an internationally-renowed modern artist in 1982 and the park has been designated a city landmark. Personally, I think its a soggy, trash-strewn swamp with a smelly, semi-operational restroom facility (the urinal doesn't flush, no door to the stall, no soap, faucet doesn't work right...). When its sunny out, though, the Teletubbie-esque landscape is kinda neat.

Typical suburban park in the greater King County area. You will be lured in by the scenic rolling mounds and winding passages around streams and man made wetlands, but when you start to dig deeper you will see it has problems with trash, homeless people camping, drinking, and shooting up in the darker corners. I've seen numerous small time drug deals go down here, but it is still relatively safe. I wouldn't go too deep into the woods in the area. There appears to be an outdoor seating area in the back that was probably abandoned because of maintenance costs. I won't even dare use the bathrooms because it is a short walk to a store with less scary prospects. Overall, still a good place for a morning stroll. Most things are still hung over and immobilized for the first few hours of the day. Wildlife is hit or miss in this area. They are probably just hiding from all of us.

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!
