Hadnt been in a couple of years and remembered the place as wonderful for toddlers but definitely tired. I figured the nonprofit needed to do more fundraising. We returned to find a lot of updates were made incl fresh bright paint and it appears that a new play area will be opening soon (troll?). The classic stories of childhood come to life here, with just enough elements to make them recognizable but leaving enough to imagination to spur creative play.... what more can you ask for?

Had fun there today. Beautiful day to be at a parl

Always love watching the kids run and play at this park.

Such a great park. Trails to walk and really close to the dog park. My kids love the water area and during the summer they have a program to feed the kids that play there for free. Also in the summer an Ive cream truck comes by. Super clean. keep in mind the bathrooms will be closed during autumn and winter.

New audition to the park in the later years just a lot more fun⚘️️,and you can bbq and picnic a lot to do there

Good escape from reality, usually.

Great dog park! Great playgrounds for both young and old children! Great spray park in the summer!

A great place to cool off! Open to all, with different types of water features, and basketball hoop for more fun! Water fun is activated by push buttons on posts on the outer edge of the area. All this right next to the playgrounds! And trails all around to get absorbed in the atmosphere of nature, and forget youre in the big city. Fun and relaxing.

Our favorite park in the summertime! Free for the family, open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and offering free lunches for kids and teens in the summer, this public resource is amazing. On any warm sunny day youll find tons of families enjoying the park. Lots of shady areas to keep cool. Good bathrooms. And an agescent fully stocked playground. Thank you Seattle Park and Rec!

The spray park is a great part of Northacres park for young kids to safely play & cool off. Theres no wading pool or pool of any kind that might create a safety issue for toddlers, just safe gentle water coming out of a variety of fixtures. All of the kids I saw there were having a good time. One more thing -- its free!!

Fun park with lots of cool stuff. The spray park is great in summertime (just know that the water didnt turn on until 11 AM). The playground is great for all ages-- theres one for under age five and one for over age five, but theyre right next to each other (good for parents with kids in both age groups). There are picnic tables right next to the playground. And then there are really nice walking trails and on the other side of the park theres an off leash dog area.

Great place to take the kiddos or puppers. Has a nice spray park and walking trails. Also has a great play area. The off leash dog park is a favorite of out dog.

This place was awesome!! Nice water park area as well as a play ground right nxt to it!! Dnt think your gonna take your kids here and their not gonna be dying to play in the water park area also!! Pack swim wear and some towels!! Dnt for get juice and some snacks!! They do have a bathroom however it’s not the greatest but it’s a public park so there you go!! Also has park grills, picnic tables and plenty of grass with and without shade. Parking isn’t big but there is street parking. Enjoy and clean up when your done!!

Nicely maintained and shady. The only thing that would make it better is grass.

A wonderful place to take your kids! My 13 month old loves it. The kids can splash around without worrying about getting into deep water. Theres two playgrounds as well, one perfect for smaller kids!

Great park with two different playgrounds and a splash pad. We were visiting from out of town and wish our neighborhood had this park!

Much of the spray park isnt working. A lot of trash on the ground. Otherwise it seemed like a pleasant park.

Nice place to spend time with kids. Ice cream truck visits every now and then.

Fun little spray park for all ages. Very clean, well designed, and has something for everyone. Accessible restrooms close to water feature, lots of picnic space, and awesome hiking trails.

Nice little park for the kids

Has a great children’s water park that is endless water beautiful short walks and nature and leads to a great hidden dog park behind I-5

Wonderful spray park - new, flat, and without standing water. Great for new walkers and toddlers. Next to two playgrounds. Gets really full on the weekends, particularly before / after wading pool season

Great spray park and the playground is good too

Great park year round, even better in the summer because of the spray park. If you arrive before 10:30 seems like plenty of parking on a weekday in the summer. Bathrooms are a plus, and there is shade, too.

Nice little trailand the summertime splash park, while a little busy, is ace.

Great family park for all ages. Hard to find parking but fun adventure.

Great splash park and playground. Plenty of shade. Nice and clean.

Great water park with play areas that have many shaded grassy areas to sit down in. Very limited parking though.

Great little spray park but parking can be limited on hot days.

Great for outdoor bbq. Tree cover so if it rains its not going to matter

Fun place for kids of all ages! 2 Great playgrounds!

Nice spray park in the shade. They should convert all the wading pools in the city to this type.

Schools back for fall so I can shoot hoops again

Really great spray park for kids, the parking can be tight sometimes though

Its lots of fun for the kids and good way to keep cool.

Nice water features that are great for young kids.

Super fun spray park! Picnic benches are close, bathroom too.

Nice trail for your dog

Endless fun for the kiddo in the summer. can get busy on warm weekend days but the park can handle a lot of people, its the parking that can be the issue.

Not alot of waking trail that is wheelchair friendly

Perfect way to spend a hot afternoon.

Legit splash/spray park with a dozen+ features. Most of the water area is in the sun, and there are shady spots on perimeter.

It was great

Its a little bit like a maze

Great on a hot Summers day

Very place to stop and read ride bike take kids!

It is one of the greatest parks in Seattle

Parks department has done a good job of cutting back the overgrown bushes that use to attract the out door sex weirdos

Amazing for kids

Nice
