Puyallup parks

We are exploring local parks that we've never been to this summer. We already have our favorites, but you never know what else is out there unless you go and see!

Not a great picture, but the view of Mt. Rainier from Heritage Park was amazing. This is located near Rogers HS.

Nothing else about it was all that impressive. It is just a small play area in the middle of several baseball fields. My kids enjoyed, but I prefer someplace with more shade for mom!

We were all hot and sweaty after about 30 minutes, so decide to head off to find another park. As it would happen, the sprinklers came on in one of the outfields just as we were pulling out of our parking spot, so we seized the opportunity to cool off!

I wasn't sure if my kids would actually run through these huge sprinklers, but they didn't hesitate and had a wonderful time getting absolutely soaking wet!

After they got tired of the water and were getting hungry for lunch, we found our next stop...South hill Park. I really liked this park. The play area was nice and clean and there was a huge field were we could bring our dog or some kites to fly.

As an added bonus, there is a rather extensive, paved trail that winds around behind the park and through some woods. It apparently connects to Heritage Park, where we started! We took an abbreviated loop that was maybe 1/2 a mile, or so and enjoyed a walk in the shade. Definitely some place the kids would enjoy bringing bikes and scooters.
