It hurts me to leave a park anything less than a four… But it has to be done. Earthworks is sketch. As hell. It’s in an awesome location, has lots of baby ducks, ponds, creeks, and a good sized area to walk around, but it’s sooo grody. Some times I’ve gone and it’s been okay, other times(like today) I’ve gone, and there’s creepy ass guys littering the park, a guy passed out in the grass, and garbage everywhere. It makes me sad! This park has a lot of potential to be an awesome spot for families and people walking their dogs and such, but right now it’s just a hit or miss.

The park’s entrance is always very well-kept, lots of ducks and geese to watch(but please DON’T feed them…) and the park has bathrooms, which is nice. I’ve had many-a picnic on the rolling hills. The lower areas get very gooshy in the rainy seasons, though. And if you’re walking dogs, watch out for bread left out by the ponds.(Bread is bad for any critter that comes by it, but that’s a whole other rant.) Anyway, it’s a nice park to get away from annoying city sounds. The streams and forests are nice.

I’ve always thought that this park was in a weird place. The trail leads you to an amphitheater that I’ve harder ever seen used. Most of this park is in deep forest so you can’t even use it. Weird park but not BAD. Simply, 2 stars = «Meh. I’ve experienced better.»

This park is great! It is nicely maintained. I like that it is spread out and there are different areas to enjoy. I sat on a little wooden bridge and had lunch in the sun. It was great. I kicked back and read a bit in the sun. Cute little park. Glad I looked it up on Unilocal and spent some time here :)

This odd, yet unique park is fairly close to my boyfriend’s house, so we walk here all the time to fly kites, enjoy the sun, or just get out of the house. I like it. The landscape of the park is quite strange — lots of ups and downs, twists and turns. There are paved trails that wander through the park and end up at a an oddly placed little amphitheater, stage and«seats» made of wood. There is a small little round pond type thing that the ducks seem to enjoy. Yeah, it isn’t always the cleanest(we’ve found garbage, drug baggies, you name it here) and I probably wouldn’t want to walk around here much at night, but it’s a nice little park and a welcomed part of the neighborhood.

Earthworks is a 107 acre public park in Kent which Mill Creek flows through. There are paved trails, a restroom, and an amphitheater. Apparently the ‘Earthworks’ were designed by an internationally-renowed modern artist in 1982 and the park has been designated a city landmark. Personally, I think its a soggy, trash-strewn swamp with a smelly, semi-operational restroom facility(the urinal doesn’t flush, no door to the stall, no soap, faucet doesn’t work right…). When its sunny out, though, the Teletubbie-esque landscape is kinda neat.
