Be prepared for uneven ground, lose ground, steep hills and tripping on roots and plants.

One of the best rose gardens I have ever experienced, with benches for those who like a good reading atmosphere. There are "dinosaur bone" rock sculptures kids will love... I know this because they stuck in my mind from childhood. But the thing that will bring everyone is the train... fully ready to be climbed all over. It simply rocks... really. Go to this garden, don't consider missing this when in Corvallis, because you will be so sorry you did.

I found it gets the zoomies out of them and that makes for a quiet night, most times. Sometimes you have a small group of littles and they somehow are fueled by the laughter of other kids and seem to possess unlimited energy. We camp closest to the beach. There is no shade there. We bring our own but at night, the stars are like street lights. It's beautiful. The moon at times feels like you could grab it. The ocean will put you to sleep like a Dr.s prescription. It's amazing. All the bathrooms get used a lot because of the amount of people who stay here but they are constantly being cleaned. The showers are a little strange to me but good. Don't try to park an extra vehicle on your spot even if only unloading. The parking is terrible BUT way down the road, on the "Day Use Area" is plenty of parking. Ya, we all hate parking in the D.U.A. They hold cultural events in the D.U.A. We've seen some awesome Native American dancers. They looked super cool. The beach access is at either end of the dune. The beach is clean and the waves aren't that vicious. The shore is nice and shallow. Low tide brings a whole different look to the area with smooth rock surfaces and cobblestones. Of course the ocean is always awesome.

I've often found them getting instructions from an older girl who's mastered it. There's a bridge over a wetland garden and the landscaping in general is native and very nicely done. I've chased those boys all over the playground and there are plenty of places to hide or little ways to lose the one chasing you. There are benches and picnic tables which the adults usually sit at and strike up conversations with new friends. But the best feature of the playground is the large tube slide which starts at the top of hill in a pirate's ship. It twists and turns down and shoots you out the other end at which point the boys usually run laughing back up the hill for more. There are things to climb around on at the top as well, which offers a great view of Nye Beach. Located a block from the beach, walking distance from a bunch of great restaurants in historic district of Nye Beach, this is a great place to spend a few hours with kids.
