Nice park tucked back. Clean and fair sized with a cool looking playground

I primarily visit with my son, who loves the wooden playground here. The playground area has multiple slides & ways to climb up and down. There is a mid-height fence and only one way in/out of the playground area; this is a nice feature if you have a kid that runs! There are swings for babes and regular swings, a tire swing, balance challenges/bridges, and lots of different equipment that a variety of ages can engage with. Parts of the playground are old and could use renewed. For example, half the bells on a xylophone style piece are missing, the gravel in the tot dig area needs refilled, the mats on some equipment is worn and frayed in spots. The bulk of the equipment works and is standard for a public park. The paintings look like they've been maintained. The ground substrate around the playground area is a wooden mulch. There are at least two restrooms in the park (one near the baseball fields & one up closer to the amphitheater), but they aren't always open. Water fountain outside of the playground area. Paved place for walking. The park has multiple baseball fields, a batting cage, pavilions, and trails. The dirt trails are not well maintained and don't seem to be used frequently. (Which is a shame!!!) There is a fitness trail that has a series of different physical challenges along the path, but many of the stages are missing parts/prompts. The local community utilizes the park and the amitheater quite a lot! The WA library has held story time walks, girl scouts and boy scouts have used the park for programs & meetings, there is a festival here each summer, and the drive-through holiday light show is also held here. I did have to stop visiting what was once my go-to "peaceful spot" within the park in summer 2021, because a semi-permanent garbage bin was placed across from my favorite pavilion. It stunk so badly I stopped walking that loop & using the pavilion. It was along a hill, using the path involved taking deeper breaths going up hill....right past that bin. The bits of the park that aren't ignored are normally lovely, the dumpster was not something I expected.

Great light show. I would go back for sure. I hear the line gets long in peak times so watch for that.
