The lot wasn't full and there was plenty of space but there were a lot of people too.

It was a lot of fun to come back again years later with my 2yo daughter. They have recently done a complete renovation on the play area of the park. It is all done in a maritime theme perfect for the little quaint town of Gig Harbor. It has a big toy boat to climb in and on with slides, bells, sea life scavenger hunt & more. There is also a sand box, swings, buoys to swing on, climbing toys, etc. It has a rubber surface in the play area. It's very "little kid" friendly which I was impressed with. This park also has a covered area with a sink & running water, picnic tables & BBQs which is great for get togethers. The bathrooms have flush toilets and were very clean. It has a drinking fountain, but wasn't working when we went. It does have some shady areas for escaping the heat. It also has walking trails, wildlife viewing, baseball field, tennis & basketball courts, and of course the creek it was named after :)

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!

Prepare yourself with good shoes that have traction, if you go in winter months it's a bit muddy and can be slippery.
