    West Bay Park
    Andrea H.

    The Rotary Club raised funds to build this park on the waterway. There is free paved parking. The short walkway is a very wide paved sidewalk ideal for families with strollers and seniors who want to take a safe, even-footed, predictable stroll outside while being able to enjoy views of the Capitol Building in the distance, the saw mill on the east bank, and kayaks and small row boats being launched from the park to the inlet. There are several benches and picnic tables where you can rest. A covered, metal bike parking area is also provided. Only a porta-potty was available at the back of the park. Leashed dogs are welcome. Check the IDE schedule before taking your boat out because you don't want to get caught in the dangerous mud flats during low tide.

    Small quiet park on the waterfront of Budd Inlet with access to beach. Benches and a marvelous view. Launch your kayak here!

    Beautiful view

    Came here with the family after hiking Garfield Nature Trail Park. This is a nice park to have a picnic and enjoy the Olympia city scape and bay view. You can launch your kayak here, but it is recommended you not go in the water. They have adequate free parking and a port a potty for park patrons.

    So after my first review, Fengie O. came to the rescue regarding the disappointment I originally…read morefelt about Bigelow Park. Thanks to her kind instructions, I found that I had gone to the wrong park. I actually visited a small patch of land next to someone's house and thought that was the park. I was obviously off my meds that day. Anyway, this park is major cute and nice for the kids or if you wanted to grill out. The amount of space between the grill stations is sufficient enough to not make you feel like you're encroaching on someone else's territory. There is also a decent amount of kids equipment. It all looks pretty safe and there is even a single basketball net on the half court. The park is surrounded by huge trees that in a way hide the grounds and provide ample shade. There are also unisex restrooms on site and doogy doo bags for life's little messes. It's definitely a nice park now that I actually went to the right one. Thanks Fengie.

    Guess who finally moved near Bigelow Park? That's right--I did! I can walk to the park from my…read morehouse. It's a decent sized park. The equipment is appropriate for children 12 months old to 11 years old. Some children who have limited mobility can enjoy the play structures. The wide stairs are set near the ground so children can transfer out of wheelchairs and climb into parts of each structure. My oldest kid will play football with her friends, but my 2 year old likes to hide in the tube connected to the small play structure and scream! In addition to the 2 play structures, there are also two spinning toys. One is shaped like a cup. Kids sit in it and spin around. The other is a pole with a platform. 2 children get on the platform and spin each other. There are swings for babies and for older children. The swings for the older children are set near the basketball court. The swings for the younger children are closer to the main play area. A tire swing is attached to the large play structure. The park is surrounded by a grassy area. It's fun to play soccer or football. Keep in mind the area is not fenced. One of the grassy sides of the park is right next to a moderately busy road. It's good to keep an eye on younger children. The parking area is a decent size. I've seen 6 minivans parked with room to spare. There are also at least 2 large handicap parking spaces. The bathrooms are a decent size. There is a drinking fountain, a covered area for picnicking and a few picnic tables. If all the picnic tables are taken, it's a lovely place to lay a blanket down and have a sit down picnic.
