The park itself is beautiful, and fun to hang out and check out the trails. Lots of homeless though at times, def needs more monitoring of the camps in the woods.

This is my second review of this park. Yes its beautiful, its its a lovely walk between jobs/ clients, and yes, the homeless and destruction of property is prevalent in this park. Ive seen smashed car windows, group drug usage, and large amounts of litter strewn about. Then, theres Covid. Ugh, priorities.

Its a cool idea but the water is incredibly dirty and never serviced. There is lots of garbage and homeless people around.

Cool little park in the middle of the hustle and bustle. A nice place to go lay in the grass on a nice day or walk the meandering paths to get away from a busy day and let your thoughts wander. Cool earth sculptures? Or shapes... Has a round / circle thing going on. Hidden places around bends in the path. I saw other reviews about sketchy people and trash. Park was relatively clean and there were some workers there cleaning up. I can see it being a place for addicts and homeless to hang out though. I probably wouldnt go at night.

Nice place was pretty clean no bums hang around today

Just a short stroll worthy, nothing much to do.

Great park to take walks with the kids and dog.

My dog loved when we went there. Little pond with ducks also has a stage for amateur theater

Nice to have this park in the middle of Kent. The cool water feature was dry but I did visit in July after all. Several homeless people were hanging around in the park but it didnt feel unsafe.

Very nice park to roll down hills

Its always a quiet and relaxing place to walk and enjoy nature and enjoy the sunset

Beautiful park. Gentle trails. Needs some litter clean up.

Very beautiful park. Could use some cleaning up.

Aside from the homeless that congregate under the over pass stairs, this is a beautiful place to visit and decompress!

I LOVE the artworks. Ive been here twice and have every intention of coming back again. It always reminds me of the one week while in art school my organic art course required our class to clear land at a state park in Alabama and create our own earth art. If you have appreciation for the aesthetics, nature, or like me - BOTH, then this space is worth checking out sometime.

Great place to walk around and relax while enjoying the scenery. Would recommend if you want a nice and beautiful place to walk around with friends or family (and dogs too :D)

Pretty nice park for just walking around in

Good park. A little muddy. There were people there with their dog but did not have a leash on it even though it is a leash required park. Happens at every Kent park Ive been to with my dog.

I enjoy this little park. A nice walk during the summer and fall. You can tell some people are living in there though so just be mindful of that. Buddy system!

While the environment and the river was great, the quality and how safe it was wasnt that great, it was quite hazardous because of all the drug needles and homeless people lived there as well. I suggest bringing more than three people there if your going. Other than that. It was beautiful.

Nice place to walk and relax and watch ducks and geese

Nice place but unfortunately really shady with all the homeless around. Easy for them to hide and you can tell no one patrols the area.

Beautiful park!

I love how clean it always is, and the ducks are always fun to feed

Incredible earth art that is unfortunetly neglected. We spent about 2 hours at this park, exploring the art and the trails and picked up more than 30 lbs of garbage with so much more to clean up.

Great place for a picnic lunch, walk your dog and just enjoy natures beauty

Very pretty area has a few ponds and kinda tucked back in the wilderness. I was quite pleased by the nice walk and how hidden it was pretty quite for being next to smith street which and be pretty busy. Glad to have explored it will be going back soon.

It is so cool

Live by this park, used to be lovely but now theres always homeless people sleeping on benches and police cars in the parking lot. Still a nice area to have a picnic at during the day.

I was homeless and a friend showed me where to built a tent in the woods. It was home for me until the police showed up and gave me a warning and a list of help for shelter and everything a homeless person needs and wants. It really was home for me. Lol

Great amount of space for walking and taking photos.

Nice hiking adventure

Spacious park, great place to play sports, hike, Easter egg hunt.

Would be 5 stars of there werent sketchy characters walking around openly drinking in public. This play needs constant police patrols to usher out the morons.

Little park, nice for a short walk-around, great for dogs, and not big enough for a bike ride even though you can ride a bike there. Seems to be the spot for car dwellers to hit the restrooms there, which are clean enough.

Its a nice vantage point to view the sky and to just be quiet and in the now.

Only a small paved trail. No off leash area for pets. And felt like a marsh land n most areas of the trails. Lots of garbage and unkept

Its pretty but not well taken care of and there are SO many homeless camping out here. Doesny feel safe. Dont leave anything in your car. There were purses strewn about the canyon that were probably stollen.

This park used to be so beautiful and inviting.... Now, its just FULL of garbage, used hypodermic needles and discarded clothing ALL throughout the park grounds and restrooms. The Womens restroom was unbelievably disgusting. Filth & trash. So sad to see Earthworks park in such a shamble.

Beautiful park. great location. lovely green grass everywhere. natural babbling brooks throughout the entire park. this is the best place to take the kiddos for a walk or picnic or walk your dogs. i love taking the kids to ride bikes here, the sidewalks are nice and smooth. This is would be a perfect place to take a date during the spring or summer and just be one with nature. There are benches you can sit on just beside the small lake and listen to the water and watch the ducks & geese . This really is just an amazing park to hang out at and let the kids roll down the hills or feed the ducks. You def have to make time to visit this place. Other similar places in the area just as serene, beautiful, and green would be Kuboda Gardens in Seattle/Skyway area. A must see ! Go visit

Lots of parking, wonderful scenery, and a good clean natural vibe.

So ghetto I was literally scared to be there. Came to ride my bicycle with my toddler and sad to say it has a lot of beautiful potential if it was kept up. A guy drinking beer by the bathroom, random articles of clothing everywhere, shoes, beer cans, surprised I didnt see any drug users but I felt like they were watching us from the bushes.

Just has a very lonely unsettling vibe

Great place to run your dog but becareful people smoki g stuff in the restrooms

Very unique landscape

Like walking around its nice and piece full

Beautiful little park. Great place to take your Hunny or your fur baby for a walk.

I ate chili from the Wendys across the street there once.The chili was pretty good.

Great park with lots of activities and a big open field. Brough my 2 toddlers and they had a blast! And i actually wasnt worried about my children running into the parking lot. They stayed near the Playground area or at the big open field. Definitely going back and bringing my kiddos with!! GREAT PLACE!!

Only fun in the snow. Tons of homeless herr and guys doing drugs in their car.

Crop circles aliens are among us

Perfectly safe in daytime, but a few people hang out in the parking lot after dark. Dont know what they are doing. Homeless camp in the upper canyon most of the time. Coyotes roaming through the area, too

Its a nice little park with nice walking path but its little and the stairs towards the back are all rotted away so they are off limits from the street side of them. If the city were to redo those stairs it would be a great incline step wotkout.

Last time i went i got scarred by a homeless passed out at the very end of the park... Place stinks

Nice place to walk. Other than that, not much there.

This place is going to be great.

This would be a much nicer park, if the city of Kent maintained it more. Its fine to go there during the day, I would never go later at night.

I used to go there as a kid, all the time. But it was clean then, and nobody was camping in the back woods. Now I go there to pick up the garbage on a regular basis. Its really sad what the homeless have done to the parks in and around kent. Pluss they dont have Canterbury fair in the front anymore.

A nice park nestled in a small canyon. Has a small seasonal stream in the bottom. Very nice park at the bottom in the Kent Valley, however up towards east hill you gotta watch out for homeless camps.

Its a nice place to take a stroll. Except for that it has to many homeless wanderers leaving their trash behind as you go further back into the trails. Also, the wooden stairs could use some fixing. Overall its a pretty cool place.

Quet and restful for being downtown Kent. A little litter though.

Awsome park

The park has a lot of grassy sloping areas, so it is very popular for kids sledding downhill when it snowed recently. The bathrooms are only open during summer months, pretty clean for public restrooms, at least, it is clean whenever I need to use it.There are staircases going up to Canyon Road, but they are dilapidated and unsafe.I walk the dog often here. However I do not feel safe if it is getting close to dusk, because there are a lot of homeless people that hangs around there.

So beautiful, be careful of riffraff in the later hours of the day. Smoking is prohibited at this park in any way shape and form.

Nice overviewing the running cars and traffic

Its a nice park to go for a walk,could use a lot more attention from parks and recreations,

The canyon goes deeper than youd think, fun space

Been driving by for years. My son finally begged me enough so we checked it out. Cool idea for a park. Hills are cool. He had fun running around but man its pretty nasty. Mid afternoon and a bunch of homeless people there and garbage everywhere. Pretty disgusting.

This place is beautiful

This park is a nice little gem in the heart of Kent. It has a long park area with a small duck pond and a small amphitheater beyond that. There are also trails through the woods. Years ago, there used to be a medieval fair called Canterbury Faire that went kn here.. Not sure if it still goes on but it would be a shame if they stopped it. Was amazing.

Nice and quiet place inside the big city

Would be great except for all the homeless and tweakers.

Junkie camp. Kent PD needs to get their officers on the clock. They are hacking it.

Could be very pretty but lots of bum litter. The trail following the creek upstream is a decent little hike and you can access the public pool and cemetery if youre adventurous enough

The park itself is great,but I have been there multiple times and lots of trash in parking lot. People are disgusting. Was there once and a Kent city worker came and went, didnt bother picking up any trash.

Only issue is the homeless people and the amount of garbage..especially in the woods along the trail. I would love taking my grandkids there more often..but its not safe! The park itself is awesome for kids to run and roll around in.

Great place to walk your dog.

Goof park to walk dog, the pond thi wow really a mess unsure on the water that flows in there, poo look alike for sure or really green black circle

Really enjoy this place, the design, concept, and thoughtfulness of everything. However we have how coined this place Bum Park. The wooden view points and stair access points all have been blocked off due to dry rot and other structural issues. You can see a lot of wood is falling apart laying on the ground throughout the park. And the bums... apparently this is like a hidden Tent City, AKA Bum Park. Theres campsites everywhere in the litter is just horrible. Theres so much garbage throughout the tail end of this park and on the hidden Trails throughout the Creek area. This place needs a deep cleaning.

This is a small park but its very scenic. Theres a parking lot at the start of the park, which has a pond in the center. Beyond that, there is a wooden gazebo type structure, and thats about the end of the park. I often see people walking their dogs here or bringing their kids to run around in the grass.When it gets warm, there are a lot of ducks around and people show up to feed them. Towards the rear of the park, there seems to be trash and debris, which could have been left by homeless and transient individuals. On the wood flooring under the Gazebo, it looks like someone may have lit a fire to keep warm and burned a hole through the wooden floor planks.Along with discarded alcohol bottles, graffiti and the creepy wooden stairs that extend down from the street level above, be aware of your surroundings and careful to supervise your children at all times in the rear area of the park. Otherwise, the open grassy areas are pretty safe.

Just a sweet and quite place to reflect

There very in management and service

Not much here but walking trails

Many trees and wide grassy fields to play in.

An amazing place to walk, cycle,relax and unwind

Small park with nothing to see or do but a few hundred meters of paved path.The homeless issues need to be dealt with, sleeping on the benches in the middle of the day.

Need heavy policing if one takes his/her young family there.

Love this park its nice and clean

Beautiful and quite in the chaos of Kent.

Seclusion in the back area of the park.

Bathrooms nasty the bridge and stairs are dangerous. And is kinda scary back there

I stepped in mud and ruined my shoe

Nice Park. Lots of Adult activities happening though. Probably not great place for children.

Park is unique and could be a good place for the family if the city would just keep it clean and safe

Heavy traffic noise and where black thugs hang out

I love the open space. If there arent many people I can let my puppy loose. She loves it

Lots of homeless people. Doesnt feel safe.

Not a place to visit unless you are a mobile soup kitchen.

This place is nice in the summer but there are allot of homeless people back on the trail so be careful. When its been raining stay on the paths cause it is muddy.
