The park is well taken care of, clean, and has plenty of amenities for a variety of activities to fit the needs of any individual or family. There are both paved and gravel walkways and even an off-leash dog run, but my favorite feature are the many benches tucked in close to the pond surrounded by the beautiful trees and flowers. I definitely recommend Wapato for your next outdoor adventure!

Everytime I've been here my daughter has greatly enjoyed the playground and had other kids to play with. It's a friendly environment for parents as well. The park itself has a lot of offer; very large, running trails, forest, a dog park, playground, tables, a dock for walking on top of the water, etc. Parking at the dog park tends to be full, but there's a larger lot as well. The dock is accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. Friendly ducks and geese around (but don't feed them!).

Nice park for an easy walk. It's pretty well kept. Picnic, off leash dog play area, walking trail and kids playground.

You need to bring your own grill and propane. But yes you can BBQ there. The grills at the park have largely been locked up or removed to discourage use by the homeless.

I think it is only youth fishing but I don't think there are fish there any longer. I wouldn't eat anything out of there, pretty polluted from storm runoff.
