It was a Wednesday morning and parking was abundant. Signs were speckled throughout the parking lot marking the Ebey Waterfront Trail and where to find it. Exploring around the parking lot, there was a playground and a few short docks out over the water along a muddy boat launch area. Venturing out on the Ebey Waterfront Trail, I found a variety of small birds foraging in the vegetation along the trail as well as a great blue heron wading in the water and occasionally plunging its head into the water to catch a fish. A spattering of wildflowers were also in bloom along the trail. The walking path itself was flat, paved, and yielded infrequent shade. Returning to my car, a few great blue herons flew off along the river.

I would not recommend eating at the picnic tables, that is now where the diapers get changed! That being said it is a beautiful park. The playground is well maintained and up to date.

Has a porta potty but it has not been kept clean I would rather do my business in the bushes. The first part of the hike is steep uphill switchbacks before you get to the actual loop around the lake. Then it is mostly flat and easy and has a couple benches to stop at. Has some other trails that branch off, but there are signposts to tell you where to go. Nice dog friendly hike.

The dog that we brought with us couldn't help but jump in the water and the mud and get all dirty. There are so many slugs but they won't bother you.

Skip the mega crowds, lines, and parking lot chaos with Garden Rosalyn. It's smaller and lesser known, but that's exactly why we loved it! Bonus points: it's super dog friendly! Your furry family has to stay leashed, but the staff is totally chill about your pup tagging along for a flower-filled stroll and even walking through the tulips! This garden isn't about massive fields as far as the eye can see instead its into artsy vibes, with tulips planted in fun designs and patterns. Since we went near the end of the season, some patches had called it quits for the year, but plenty of blooms were still going strong and looking fabulous. There's also a cozy little food stand in the back dishing out street food and drinks, plus random seating spots sprinkled throughout the garden. Perfect for grabbing a snack or break and soaking in the colors surrounding you. The geese here are a whole thing. Like tulip garden security pigeons with attitude. Get too close and they will quack endlessly at you. All in all, if you have the time, it's totally worth the stop especially if you're rolling with doggie buddies. Just don't make this your only garden stop if you're hunting for endless floral fields. But for a chill, dog-welcoming experience Garden Rosalyn's got you!

Because this wasn't 50 acres. They had bathroom (ports potties). One had hand sanitizer and one did not. But they were clean. I don't know. We felt a little underwhelmed? This was our first tulip farm we have ever been to, so we need to compare against the others.

This dog park has so much potential but like so many other things, the humans ruin it. So many neglectful and ignorant dog owners. I've been coming here off and on for quite a few years and I'd say about 75% of the dog owners either ignore their dogs, or don't know how to distinguish between dog signals for play, nervousness, and aggression. I've seen people yell at their own and other's dogs for barking while they're playing, completely ignoring their play bows, wagging tails, left sided ear flicks and eye winks, zoomies, and frequent changes in play styles. No hackles raised anywhere. All of these are meta signals that play is happening, and that the growl or bark is essentially trash talking. I've seen people force their dogs to interact with other dogs when they are shaking and hiding between the owner's legs. I've seen people let their dogs h*mp other dogs even though the other dog is snarling and trying to get away. I've seen people crowd together talking so then the dogs crowd together and get nervous because they don't know the other dogs and humans well enough to trust them and then a dog fight ensues. I've seen people bring their takeout and try to eat at the table and then seem surprised that the dogs are interested. I've also seen dogs jump on that table and pee on it. I saw one guy threaten to shoot someone's dog because he didn't like how it played with his dog (no dogs were harmed) and then wait in the parking lot for that dog and their owner. I stayed with the other dog owner until that guy left. I've essentially stopped taking my dog here because of all these things. Bummer because it's a nice park and it's very close. My 8 year old dog with cancer would love to play with some dog friends with the time she has left, but it's not going to happen here anymore. Is there a friends of Bakerview Dog Park group? Would love to see some signs with QR codes or URL's that link to videos on dog play behaviors. If people are going to stare at their phones instead of observing their dogs anyways, they might as well learn something about how to be a responsible dog owner.

There is only 1 common gated area for the dogs to play, big and small. The ground is covered with either wood chips or grass. There has been a shade and a tree or two added to the doggie area. There are plastic chairs and a few dog toys that other owners have brought as well. A doggie bag dispenser is located at the entrance way as well. There are baseball and soccer field as well as a basketball court. A play structure for kids, 3 slides and 4 swings. A skate park for older kids. There are a few picnic tables and a public restrooms.

I was walking the gravel path around the outside of the baseball fields and noticed it on one of the wooden poles that held the lights for the baseball fields. It made its way to the grass then ran in my general direction. As it approached my general area I said hello in an animated fashion and it stood up tall to look at me with the napkins in its mouth. It subsequently ran up a different wooden pole. Very much a sweetheart. For parking, I went with the upper parking lot above the baseball fields, though there is also a lower parking lot by a basketball hoops area, a playground, and covered picnic table areas. Bleacher seating lined the two baseball fields and there was a small restroom building, which is closed in off season/hours.
