When I went to Willamette Park for the first time two days ago, I was blown away (figuratively…read morespeaking). There were plants, trees and flowers as far as the eye could see. For one thing, the trees sure were beautiful to look at. Their leaves reminded me about the beauty of the color green and how it can be cool and friendly (and they still do, as a matter of fact). Also, whenever I looked at the flowers and plants, I smiled when I took notice of how awesome they looked (and still are). As I took pictures of the nature I saw, I was then reminded of Susie Salmon in the 2009 film "The Lovely Bones" and her saying that she liked how a photo could capture a moment before it was gone. Even now, I know what she meant. And when it came to the nature in the green of the plants, the beauty in the flowers and the wonder in the trees, there was something special they all had that nature photographers are able to find. Finally, I highly recommend Willamette Park for all the nature lovers and photographers out there, and I give it five stars as well (although ten stars would be even better).

I love a good surprise…read more From the main entrance on Horton Road, the park looked tiny and dated. So I'm so happy I continued to explore this neighborhood park to find more interesting activities. If you walk past the small basketball court along the nature trail, you will find a second section of the park with the big attraction, a giant slide. There is also a second small playground with more modern play equipment.

Unfortunately, at ages 4 and 6 my kids are toward the upper end of the appropriate age range for most of the equipment so we don't come here often. As another reviewer mentioned, the main area of the park is right near the road but it's not a busy road so it isn't an issue for us. There are no bathrooms. Significant bummer.

There is a playground for little kids and a separate one for the bigger kids. Decent shade over the play structures but not fully shaded in summer so bring sunscreen. There is a large field that was mostly flat when I traversed it. Bathrooms were available and were about as good as you could expect from public restrooms. The major drawback of this place is that most of the property is sloped. Definitely doesn't make for an easy way to explore, but it's not bad if you're in good shape and don't mind going up and down sloped areas. Not the best park in this area, but also not the worst. I prefer Roy Rogers for me and my family, which is less than five minutes north, but that's just me.

I love a good all ages park…read more Midhill Park makes the most of its hilly terrain, by having areas for different groups throughout the space on terraced sections. There are two separate, but adjacent, play structures. One for toddlers and another larger area with more challenging and engaging structures for older children. And it was nice to have a restroom right by the toddler area. So many local parks that are in the heart of neighborhoods don't have facilities. A paved path that weaves throughout the space that would be great for bikes or skateboards. It does have some mild hills, so it can be a challenge or a breeze depending on your direction. And probably my favorite part, a large grassy field that is ideal for soccer, touch football or frisbee. Kudos to the park designers on this one. The only downside I observed is minimal parking.

There used to be a little hut with an orange metal slide, a tiny table and a room in the top, but now there is just an iguana statue. The rest of the park has four benches, a picnic table, a water fountain, a tire swing, and a foursquare court. My family and I call this place "Strawberry Lane Park" and come here every few months. I couldn't believe it when it wasn't on Yelp! I hope this review will help people know about it.
