Playground by the Sound is the Chambers Bay park playground on the northeast corner of the park…read more Decent size parking lot, though it can be full on super nice days and in the summer (in a pinch I've parked along the road and walked back). The playground is split into an older kids side and a younger kids side, with 1 entry (and a fence surrounding). Visibility isn't perfect but the single entry point is great if you want to stand in the middle to keep an eye on kiddos. Great spot for play dates (come with a coffee!). There are portapotties at the park and a real restroom a small walk down the path. Park is great for kids to use their imaginations and play, which is so much fun. Great spot to bring a ball and play catch or picnic to sit and relax or bikes! Can get hot - wear sunscreen if the weather is nice. Friends said it's also fun to bring bikes or a stroller and hit up the cafe (a bit of distance from the playground) and have some sweet potato fries.

My kids love coming here to play, scooter and walk around on the paved trails surrounding the playground. The playground is divided with an area for toddlers (2-5) and older kids. Spacious parking lot and picnic tables as well around. Restrooms are nearby as well - they are well maintained and nice as far as public park restrooms go (heated in the fall/winter time). There is also a little library here too. I enjoy coming here every time!

We usually drop by here when we visit the outlet stores because the doggies need a walking and they love the squirrels and we love the fresh air, the trees, and the free doggie bags that encourage people to be good citizens and clean up after themselves. The place seems safe, but I also was very happy I was packing heat since sometimes it looks like people are hanging around in their cars with nothing to do and you never know what's going on in their heads. There's a playground and even cornhole boards so they want people to hang out, which we'll be more amenable to on a warm day in the summer.

One of the best parks I've ever visited. There is SO MUCH to do. I also grew up frequenting this…read morepark, so I definitely have some nostalgia attachment. But I'll leave that out and talk objectively. First up, the playground. It's nice, clean, and one of the biggest I went to as a kid. I thought it was really fun then, and it seems to still be the same now. There's plenty of open field space. Some made up for baseball, some just grass ready to run in OR play any game you want. Speaking of baseball, Rister Stadium's right there. As you're driving in, it's on the left. I'm not sure if it technically counts as "part of Tam O'Shanter Park" but it sure feels like it. There is PLENTY of parking. I remember as far back as before they added all the nice new paved lots. This park is also kind of "in a corner" for lack of a better term. What I mean to say is, there's other parks in town that can be right off a street, or even entirely surrounded by streets or other things. This is a big park, and secluded enough. Overall, I find there to be plenty of fun for the entire family. This is a frequently visited park, and very popular. Be sure to check out the drive-thru Christmas Lights every December! (Thanks Rotary!)

There were a few hikers there, but otherwise mostly those preparing to fish. We didn't visit the camping section, but they've got a decent sized day-use area with a good amount of parking, tables, and restrooms. We took the forest loop trail that leads from the lake along the stream through the forest and back around to the day-use, about 2 1/2 miles. There are sections of the trail that are simply gorgeous, and other parts not quite as pretty. But the trail is pretty fun, ups and downs, winding with steps and bridges. While the path is completely passable right now, it was very muddy in many places. A bit precarious at times, as some of the soupiest, slickest spots happened to be on inclines and declines. You'll definitely need waterproof shoes and prepare to get dirty, but Sylvia is good for a quick hike. They've got some interesting educational info along the trail too...and the lake has a very peaceful feeling.
