Forest Park

I know I only have pictures of those old park but it's all the places there I really loved growing up. Though don't get me wrong, the new play ground in fantastic for the kids. There are restrooms and there are events at the park a few times a year. The hill at the park is the best in the city for sledding. There are also more trails than you might expect. Be sure to walk around, enjoy and explore. My favorite park in Everett.

We recently visited this park, and even though the petting zoo was closed for the season, it still turned out to be a fantastic experience for the family. The park is well-equipped with activities for kids of all ages. In the summer, there’s a water pad that would be perfect for cooling off, though it wasn’t in use during our visit. What really stood out were the musical toys scattered around the park—great for encouraging creativity and interactive play. There’s a wide variety of swings, including options for toddlers and older kids, and several slides with soft, safe landing zones, so parents don’t need to worry about any rough falls. The jungle gyms were impressive too, giving children plenty of options to climb, explore, and burn off energy. All in all, this park offers a lot to keep kids entertained, even without the petting zoo. I’m looking forward to returning in the warmer months when the water pad and petting zoo are up and running!

Such a beautiful park! This place has everything I think a growing mind would want to explore. We came in October so of course the splash pad was not running and we didn't see any animals. Maps says it's almost 200 acres, it was cold and my mom had her walker so we only explored the cement paths. Good accessible paths and parking. Only thing that would improve this place is a water view but I digress. Worth the visit, especially with kiddos.

Forest Park, Everett, WA, USA Rating: 5/5 stars - Fantastic Family Fun! Our visit to Forest Park was absolutely fantastic, offering something for everyone in the family! We were particularly impressed with the splash pad, which provided endless entertainment and a great way to cool off on a warm day. The turf option for the playground was also a huge hit, offering a clean and soft surface for the kids to play on. Beyond the excellent play areas, we were delighted to discover the park's extensive amenities. The availability of pickleball courts and basketball courts truly makes Forest Park a versatile destination for active families. There's so much to do here, making it easy to spend hours enjoying the outdoors. We highly recommend Forest Park for a fun-filled family outing!

Great to bring kids here. The equipments are quite new and in good conditions. And the place is quite big to accommodate many kids. The park itself is also beautiful. Very relaxing as we enjoy the view while watching our kid play Cannot recommend more
