I was actually driving to a different park and I just stumbled on this park on my way to the other park and this is a really beautiful park it seems to have some old growth trees and a lot of trails and you can't get lost on these trails. There are maps there and I took pictures of them. It has bathrooms and they have bags that are like recycled bags for your dogs in case they have to go you know. Really a beautiful park with a waterfall and it looks like this is like all volunteer people that take care of this park which makes it super special. There were four bathrooms that are actually bathrooms with a sink and a toilet. I didn't have a lot of time to explore but if I ever come back to this area I'll go there again.

A hidden gem in the Olympia area I hadn’t been to this park in a long time, but the moment we started walking from the rose garden trail, I fell in love all over again. The old-growth forest and towering trees radiate a quiet energy—I felt deeply connected to them. We crossed the main road and made our way to the beach side, where a cool breeze and a glowing sunset made for a perfect evening. I feel truly fortunate to live near such a beautiful and peaceful place.

A great hike for working the lower body. The trail can be muddy, dry, wonder and high steps. There is a nice railing on all of the steps. Breath taking scenery. And a well kept trail without any litter. A nice canopy of trees and views of Budd Inlett.

Beautiful forest area and beach access to a very muddy and slippery beach. There are several different short trails on both sides of this park. One side of the road has the playground and beach access. The other side has more trails and a picnic area with several picnic tables. There are bathrooms here with running water and facility and trails are clean and well maintained. Easy for just about anyone to walk, great for kids and dogs are welcome on a leash.
