McFarland Park

Pretty big park wish they had a real bathroom other than that it's nice

About 30 good size shade trees (mostly maples and ponderosa pine) in the two square block park, half of them forming a line along the north side. Very few of the benches have shade so it's good to bring your own lawn chair or blanket. Some spots have decent views of Mount Rainier. Looks like the west end of the park is not used much. The two playground sections appear to be new equipment. The sheltered pavilion with a couple of picnic tables is wheelchair accessible, and there's at least a half mile of asphalt wheelchair accessible trail around and through the park. It's mostly flat, with a decent looking baseball back stand etc in the northeast corner. I see one basketball backstop. July 2022 a single porta potty at the Southwest corner of the park next to the parking lot, last service 8 days ago and overdue. Otherwise, no restroom. Looks like the neighbors use all of the 15 or so parking spaces except the 2 handicap spots, considering that there's really nobody here right now and all the parking is full. Very little shade for parking on the street. Grass is in good shape in the third week of July.
Nice 12 ft cedar "totem pole"-style carving by Oliver Nichols in 1971 prominently displayed.

It's open and uncongested with a great atmosphere and very friendly, considerate, responsible, dogs on leash(mostly😁) kinda park. They have multiple play areas for little tykes and not so little tykes as well. Very family friendly and a great walking loop with a baseball diamond as well
