Fort Dent Park

Wish we found this park sooner! This is the one park we go to when we are in the Tukwila area.
See the ducks in the big pond, see the trains pass by (train fans… This is your place! Basically every toddlers dream!), and the playground… Superb! You have the toddler-​preschool size playground, and then the other one for the big kids! Perfect for the climbing child. Really, if you haven’t been here, you really need to go!
Lots of grassy area, but shade can be lacking. Thankfully, Washington’s sun isn’t too penetrating when it’s out.
Definitely bring a lunch/​snack and enjoy family time here!

This park is one of my kid’s favorite. The location is away from the street so it’s kinda quiet, and they have lots of fun stuff for kids to play with. I love that they have 2 separate play areas depend on kids age. Smaller one is perfect for young toddlers.
And, bonus point is that they have the duck pond behind and you can bring bread or something to feed the ducks. Ducks will come close to you to get food!
You can also see airplanes and helicopters flying by, trains will goes by right in front of you, and sometimes you get to see people practicing soccer (the play ground area is surrounded by soccer fields)…so yes very entertaining place.
Also they have bathroom, which is always clean :)

We enjoy coming here to feed the ducks and play on the play ground.
This time around, we noticed a foul smell and the duck pond looking absolutely cloudy and polluted. Poor ducks. We fed them, which they easily came up to us with no fear.
The play ground is well maintained, a few options to choose from. There’s a spider web, big kid plus a toddler stage play area.
We definitely will come back.
FYI, we did turn around one time because upon entering the driveway there was a sign that a fee would be charged upon entrance, I’m not sure if there was some sort of activity going on or not but for ppl like us who wants to enjoy the play area and feed the ducks, were not paying an admission fee.

Stopped by here on our way back home after flying into Seatac. Pleasantly well-​maintained with something for school age kids and the toddler crew. Bonus points for the duck pond next to the play area.

When I’m in the area and need to pass some time with the kids, this is where I go. I found this spot on accident one day with my daughter and it was awesome. You go over a little bridge and there is giant huge fields that look like soccer is mostly played there, they have an indoor recreational area as well.
Once you drive down farther you notice a well kept playground and a tennis area behind and parking is everywhere. The playground is really nice and has two big areas to play on with a bunch of different slides with swings as well and some teeter totter toys. There is also a huge pond with lots of different ducks to feed. There is even more fields it looks like up from the playground passed the clean public restrooms.
My kids love coming here to play, its big, clean and open and there is never really a lot of people there so the kids have plenty of options to choose to play on. The occasional eagle flying around is a nice treat and when the train comes by, my son loves when that happens. This is a really nice place to take the family to hang out and have some fun.
