This is a huge park with lots of different offerings. It has a traditional playground, with the Ashley Okland Star playground across the street, which is listed separately on DSMOF. The Dog park and Lilac Arboretum also have their own separate pages. The Children’s Forest sounds really neat, and Ashley Okland has a fun dirt nature trail.

The Flow Trail starts off the westernmost parking area near the BMX track (accessible off McKinley). There are 3 trails - a jump line, and two flow lines that start at the top of the hill in the trees.  Use the entrance flow trail to get to the tree line.
