Strickling Park

Couldn't ask for better. Awesome place to come visit if on a budget cuz it's FREE! Who doesn't like free? The park does accept donations which I encourage to help preserve beautiful places like this. My gorgeous, amazing girlfriend and I shared beautiful moments looking at everything and just enjoying each other's company on benches, sitting by the pond, and soaking all the beauty in, taking photos, enjoying the quiet time, etc.

It was a cool morning to walk this paved beginners trail.

I know this place as Hickory Creek Park. This is a beautiful park full of wild flowers in their natural habitat. My daughter as Jr. Miss West Coast Earth 2019 adopted this park and we have visited the park often to pick up trashes left there. This park does not have many trash usually but sadly today we found many trash around. We also found that there is a homeless person living down the bridge. The problem is that this person has left a lot of trash around. I asked him to please placed his trash in the trash can that is just at some steps from where he has being sleeping. I reported him and thanks to the city coordinator, they have take care of him. Plus this is danger for him sleeping there if it rains. We observed that due to the irresponsability of a person there is a lot of trash in the water and even oil in the water that is killing the water creatures. If the act of one person can create this much damage to our Earth, how much damage 5,10,20 and million people with no conviene about the damage to our Earth can create. Today he does not have a ruf upon his head but if continue this way, soon we will not have a space on the Earth to live in. Take care of your space in the Earth, carry your trash and placed it on its place. Thank you.

This review is mainly for the playground. It’s a cute little play structure with wood chips on the ground. It has no shade but the surrounding trees can provide some and there’s plenty to explore all around. There is no parking lot but there is a curb away from houses where you can park. Playground is close to the street (see photo) as one reviewer mentioned, with no barrier or fence to keep kids from running into it.

I’ve been getting bit by something...I don’t think it’s a mosquito. Nevertheless, you may want to use some type of bug repellent.
