    It could use more attention by the city of Olympia. Bathrooms could be updated and cleaned more often. (Park is victim to vandalism and homeless abusing the bathrooms) Small park with a "model" of Stonehenge. (The claim to fame) small area for little kids. Seems to have young adults sunning themselves often and enjoying the quiet space.

    The playground area was covered in moss, slimey and slippery. Bathroom was open and working although the toilet was leaking.

    Grew up near this park when it was super dense with trees. Very different now. Fun open and always full of laughter.

    I have been going here since I was a baby (1990) and it is always so quiet. I have never once been where it was crowded. I love that they have a squishy rubber type floor under the play equipment. I don't worry as much about my daughter falling or tripping as I would with rocks or bark. The play equipment is appropriate for a large age range as well which is great. Many parks cater to either younger or older kids it seems and have little of one or the other. I have many great memories here. Though it is small, it is nice. There is however occasionally someone smoking pot or cigarettes too near the play area which isn't cool. That is never really a problem, though since we could always go explore the trees and stone structure off to the side.

    It's a cute little park nestled in the middle of a small community of homes. The big toys were well maintained and the ground nice and forgiving. However, after the little family left it got a little creepy with just myself and my daughter.

    Wonderful park to hang out at, whether you have kids for the play place or someone looking to take a break or play pokemon

    I was by there today but I didn't go there, because there was a Slenderman-looking person standing by a tree in the park

    Clean park, nice to walk my dog

  • 5/5 Michelle H. 4 years ago on Google
    This is one of two parks in my neighborhood. I love going to this park because after the kids are tired out, mommy gets to walk a few blocks to the San Francisco St. Bakery for a treat! The tall trees at this park provide year round protection from the weather. Theres lots of space to run and plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit at. Great neighborhood park!

    Very well kept, quiet. Little park. Very enjoyable time there. Thank you!

    This is just a cute little park with a pretty neat set of toys, well shaded and space for a nice picnic, also has a covered area for a nice little party as well. Overall pretty nice.

    Cat Stevens would have been impressed with Bigelow Park. It's where the children can play. More importantly they can play in the shade of the trees. Most importantly you, dear caregiver/parent/guardian/grandparent, do not have to risk heat exhaustion, skin cancer and cataracts while watching your charges.

    We've always loved this little park. It has play equipment for the littles as well as space for the older kids too.

    Nice park if you live close. Big hills to walk to get to the park on foot.
