mt. ranier

whether looking for a hike, a camp, or just a place to run around, mount  ranier is one of the best parks definitely five stars

lake slyvia

a wide soaring lake

great campsites but can bore you

i give it four stars

dahl playfield

dahl playfield: one of the best year round parks, dahl is one of the best places to go for sledding. and in the summer, there's a skate park and a wonderful playground. watch the bars, and i give it a 4.25

ravenna-eckstien park

ravenna-eckstien park: one of my favorite parks, it has a concave-convex camel hump climbing wall, swings, a playfield, and a giant playstructure. i give it a solid 5, though not as fun in winter

university play field

university play field: known to all as "the gorrilla park", due to the fact that there is a gorilla "pushing" a multicolored house frame. lots of fun but the playground is too much for little kids. overall rating of 3.75

Bryant park

Bryant park: known to some of the locals as "the pcc park", this park is not an all-rounder with the best turn out in summer. often you can see families flying kites or having a picnic purchased from the pcc across the street. a good set of equipment, and also some tennis courts. all in all, i give it three stars.

view ridge park

view ridge park: a nice, wide open park with plenty of things to do. in the winter, you can build igloos on the baseball fields, or go sledding down the hill across the street on the east side. in the summer, if you're lucky, they might have the pool on once or twice. otherwise, there's not much to do besides throw around something (a Frisbee, football, baseball.) in the spring and fall, playing large games of tag or capture the flag is ideal. all in all, i give it 4.5 stars
