Rope-climber sphere at Fisher Creek Park.

Most of the park’s play options seem designed for older, and/or more adventurous kids, but she appreciated the two spring-mounted teeter-totters to warm up. My younger, more timid child took more time assessing her choices, which also included a rope-climbing sphere (we call it a spider web), and a merry-go-round. We noted that because the park was not new, some of the knobs were loose and spinning around their bolts, so some parental supervision is advised. There is an impressively large climbing wall for kids to test their varying abilities: an inclined section for beginners, straight up-and-down walls and even an inverted section. So I was enticed to play along and race him. And because we visited the park later in the day after families had thinned out, he sometimes had both ziplines all to himself. As one who knows the etiquette of waiting his turn at these zip lines and helping to pull the seat up for the next child, my son was pretty jazzed to see that two structures meant he didn’t have to wait as long for his turn.

And those promised seven slides serve as an eye-catching and thrilling attraction. The sprawling green-blue play structure includes assorted climbing and traversing obstacles. The small parking lot out front might make you think it’s just a minor neighborhood park.īut as we found, this park has tons to offer. The park sits alongside - though downhill from - busy Snoqualmie Parkway at one of the Ridge’s suburban inlets onto Fisher Avenue S.E. I’d heard through the playground grapevine that this Eastside park sports seven (!) slides, so my family and I went to check it out. If you measure the sign of a good park by how difficult it is to get your kids to leave when it’s time to go, Fisher Creek Park in Snoqualmie Ridge is a clear winner for our family.
