    Its a great spot to take a little stroll with the family and pets. There is so many entrances and exits it fun to explore the neighborhoods trying to see where they all are. Kudos to Olympia city parks and recreation and art. Its great with how many parks there are you forget how gross down town is now

    Nice small park with places to explore. The main trail ends quickly but head off to the right and you can loop around in some pretty "wild" areas. The dogs loved!

    Very good place to walk, nice trails and it's quite pretty there. Our dog loves it. The only downside to this park is that every now and then you might see someone passed out drunk in the bushes. I've never had a problem but I wouldn't walk there alone.

    Obviously it's winter time. So it was pretty muddy in places. But most of it was still good. My kids had a blast despite the rain. It was pretty. And there's many trails.

    We LOVE this park. So many trails to get "lost" in and roam around. The kids love it. And the dogs do too.

    No parking, just leads to streets. Friendly neighbor said it was cool to park in front of their house. Nice short trail to stretch your legs and listen to the birds.

    Nice place to go for a walk and enjoy nature

    Nice trail system, nestled in the San Fransisco street neighborhood. Gravel and hard pack, winds through the woods coming out in several parts of the neighborhood. Nice example of Western Washington forest. Not a lot of elevation but really nice corners and some really fast straight stretches. Exhilarating trail.

  • 5/5 Emily V. 2 years ago on Google
    I enjoy coming here to simply walk along the trails and listen to the wildlife! Good place to search for and identify local flora as well.

    Awesome trail. Wish the city would stop cutting down the tire swing :)

  • 2/5 Raychel S. 2 years ago on Google
    Lots of trails that lead out to the woods that eventually lead to neighborhoods. Very friendly people on the paths. Very well kept up for a community park.

    The trails are nice here and the canopy is beautiful.

    Another obscene abuse of taxpayer money where the local residents had the money to pay off city officials to pay for, build and maintain a park in their neighborhood while not allowing one parking space for 99.9% of the taxpayers who paid for it to use it. The city of Olympia should either build a parking lot out of the ample space available or sell off this property to a private developer and refund that money to all of the taxpayers in Olympia (and refund the other taxpayer funded government grants that went into building this private playground).
