Castle Park

Kid's Oasis Playground or "Castle Park" is hidden in Snohomish county in the city of Lake Stevens. The playground is at an elementary school but is open to the public when school is not in session. Parking is good but I did not see a public restroom nearby. There is a Frisbee golf course next door to the school so maybe there is a bathroom there? The playground is huge and is a hit for all ages!

Silver Lake Park, Everett

The name of this park is actually Thornton A. Sullivan Park at Silver Lake, but we call it "Silver Lake Park". During the summer of 2011 they hosted "Cinema Under the Stars" where they played movies at dusk for free. Check their website for any updates/info for the upcoming summer.

We visited the park earlier this week on a partly-sunny afternoon during the end of March, 2012. We chose this location on this particular day for it's extra large playground.

It was "warm" by Washington standards but a brisk breeze made it bitterly cold due to the close proximity to the lake.

The kids, with their bright red noses, ran around and played to stay warm while the mommies bundled up!
