Northacres Park

Last Thursday I took our kids plus Abigail and Oliver to Northacres Park in Seattle. Meanwhile Sara and Nick were home finishing up packing for their trip to England. I was excited to see this park, which coincidentally is almost exactly in the middle between the Carters' house and our new place. The website promised forest trails, a playground, and construction on a new spray park to be completed next summer. Unfortunately, construction has apparently not started yet because all we found was an abandonded wading pool:

The kids played on the playground (which was pretty old and sparse) and then had a snack. They did like the cool "climbing wall" though.

After that we took a hike on the trail and watched the dogs in the off-leash area. (Kind of like a free zoo!) We only managed to walk around half the park, as the trails were rather confusing. So, not the greatest park we've been too, but maybe the new spray pool will liven up the place next summer.
