Park Reviews:
Hey all you park fans in Puyallup. Here is the place to find information about what parks are fun for the kids/family/pets, what to do, and where to go.
The series starts with reviews of the parks in Puyallup, WA. Assisting me on this adventure are my 5-year-old daughter, Taylor, and my nearly 3-year old son, Tanner. They will give me the feedback from a kids perspective and my wife and I will provide feedback as parents.
We invite you to visit the parks as we review them and add your comments, especially if you have older kids or younger kids who can provide a different perspective.
The goal is to provide a place where parents can go find fun locations for the kids to play, then get out and play!
Puyallup Park Review
Rainier Woods Park
Rainier Woods is tucked away in a neighborhood just off 23rd and Shaw Road. My kids love this park, they call it picture park because it is the first park we took great pictures of the kids playing at the park.
What they look forward to most are the see-saw and the swings:
The area is usually pretty quiet in the mornings, but seems to be active in the evenings when little league baseball and softball takes over the fields.
Oftentimes, Taylor and Tanner like to race to the fence, when no one is on the fields like this Saturday morning. Dad usually tries to keep up. Whoever makes it to the fence first encourages the others until everyone is done.
Then, it is a race back to the picnic tables:
The younger kids love to play go down the slides and climb on the bars:
The older kids enjoy playing basketball:
The park is dog-friendly for you dog lovers, just make sure you clean up:
and follow the rules: 
So, whether you just need an outing or want to have a family get together, Rainier Woods is a great place to go.
Directions: From Shaw Road and 23rd (entrance to Crystal Ridge), head south and take a right on Cherokee Blvd. SE. Rainier Woods is on the left.
From Meridian, take 23rd Ave SE heading east past Wildwood Park, take a right on 26th St SE and it will take you right to the park.
Have fun and let others know your experience (no pictures required, but appreciated)!

The downtown Tacoma condo market remains sluggish to say the least. Another week passed with no solds and very few pendings. Buyers definitely have an advantage as condos sit, many of them vacant, looking for someone to take ownership. Prices have been reduced again and concessions are sure to be granted if buyers were to take an opportunity to purchase in the revitalized area of downtown Tacoma.
