Really nice place for kids. Water is crystal clear. Daily parking $3, great deal. Pets are not allowed at the park past the bridge point but noticed some people did have. Will definitely come back on a hot day.

This is a nice park with walking trails and recreation areas. Even on a rainy November day we enjoyed our visit.

It is so beautiful here! Fun for kids. Families. And more! Lake is clear but full of seaweed. There is a sand spot for kids to swim and play.

Really cool park. Kind of a hidden gem. The swimming areas are roped off according to depth and there are plenty of areas to spread out so you can maintain social distancing. Lots of shade or you can bring a pop-up canopy. You can also bring your BBQ or use one of the ones they have there. History tells me to bring my own.Oh yeah, they also have lifeguards on duty during the day and evening.Its actually a pretty nice park.

The Salmon Creek Trail is a flat, easy paved path that stretches about 3 miles. It runs past softball fields and near the creek, as well as a couple ponds. My friends and I have enjoyed spotting herons and turtles in the water, and there are benches along the way for anyone who needs a rest. Some stretches are less protected by shade than others, but its never been an issue for anyone Ive gone with. One thing to note is this is not a loop. If you walk the entire length, youll need to double back, making this more like a 6 mile walk/hike.

Its a fun place for a quick swim. Not crowded, pretty clean, and able to spread out. This time I went swimming, but the time before I kicked it on the grass and just watched the kids play.

My husband and I came to check this place out after hearing about it through his work. We loved it. It has everything you might want in an outdoor adventure. You can go fishing, take a walk through their paths and trails that follow Salmon Creek, or bring your children to the park to play(which also includes a splash pad), have a bbq, or have a picnic. This is also a great place to bird watch as well. Theres truly something to do for everyone. They do have stocked bathrooms, life vests for borrowing, water fountains, baseball fields, an event area, covered areas for birthday parties, new bbq grills, a pond and lake, (which were just stocked with trout), maps, benches for resting, waste bags for your fur babies, etc. We really had a blast visiting this park! And definitely want to return again soon! The only thing I would say is... I would bring $1 bills and a pen,(for the envelope) for parking. Whether the entry booth is open or not, you have to pay a $3 parking fee. Pictures Of all areas are included!

This is an excellent trail! The only things you might want to plan ahead for - 1) it can be a bit buggy so you may want to avoid dusk if the mosquitoes are out. 2) if there was a lot of recent rainfall parts of the trail may be underwater. Luckily its never very deep and there are often trails around, so just a heads-up! Other than that this is the perfect place for walks, jogs and dogs!

Ive been coming here since the late 80s before they added trails and a sports park, and before it was nearly destroyed by floods in 1996. Its changed a lot. Its a good place to walk the trails, or walk your dog, or take a bike ride. Come in the evening if you really want to get some peace and quiet. You can get some amazing sunsets here, and you can see lots of birds like red wing blackbirds, killdeer, mourning doves, rabbits, and ducks. The trails are really nice. Theres more walking and trails than you think for a smallish place. Theres a very nice park for picnics as well. The pond is good for mostly fishing during Spring and Summer when they stock it. You can swim here, but the water can be gross at times from the birds and fish. They also have the Spring Fishing Derby here in April which is amazing for kids. Yes, they charge you for parking here in the peak months. Overall a nice place to come kick back, swim, fish, picnic, bike, walk your dog, or watch some ball games in the Spring.

Clean and nice. There is a pond with swimming area for kids and adults. Lifeguards are on duty. You need a county parks pass ( not discover pass) or have to pay. Covered porches for group entertainment.

Review №13

I like it, but dont love it. The location is kind of weird, like you can see and hear the 205 freeway but it is still wild enough that we spotted a mother a baby deer this morning at the park.The playground itself is underwhelming. Its small, theres only two small swings and one baby swing that dont go very high and one small slide.Theres lots of picnic tables but getting one in the shade is difficult. Go early to get a good spot and before crowds come in.I think my biggest gripe is that the splash pad doesnt turn on until 11am! Thats just crazy! Most days, especially if its hot, kids want to be out and playing by 9/10am so this is ridiculous to me. The splash pad itself is not big and cannot accommodate a lot of children so that is also frustrating.The sand area is very small and the water is nice and shallow for quite a ways. We had fun, but it wasnt amazing.

We enjoy coming here quite a bit. The stunning area is nice and there are life guards on duty at certain times.The are lots of great picnic places with shade. You can even reserve a pavilion.The playground is small and the splash pad doesnt always work. The bathrooms are pretty decent and there is a small concessions stand.

Review №21

The place was fun and reminded me of a beach but the problem is that the sewer water is being dumped into the pond so a lot of kids get E. coli from the water. Also it is filled with hooks from the annual fishing event please do not go although it was fun it is not safe!

Te
Review №22

Not as shown online. They dump sewer into this creek but somehow over 150 people seemed to be on it. After reviewing the parks information and seeing it for myself I solely recommend only biking or jogging the trails.

Review №23

This place is awesome. It seems always safe and the diversity of people here makes everyone feel welcome. Great pond for fishing. There is parts of the pond separated for swimming. There is a small water park and playground.Clean public restrooms. There is a lot of space for people and you can grill. Really cant say enough about this park. $3 dollar parking is well worth it and I am sure it helps keep the park clean and safe.

Go early because it gets crowded. Keep in mind that the playground is closed at this time also. They have an almost yearly ecoli outbreak and have to close the pond, so youll want to double check before heading out

Ive been going to Klineline, off and on, since the early 70s. Havent been there in about 15 years, since my kids were younger.The improvements are quite impressive. The pond is beautiful, the park is well maintained with plenty of amenities.Service animals are welcome, there is a trail outside the park for non-service dogs.

Review №73

Its a great park. Our son had a blast in the swimming area while my wife and I fished. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that the lake is overrun with plant life that interferes with the fishing. Overall,bits a great place to spend a summer day.

Ma
Review №74

Great place to go walking or riding a bike. Klineline looks more like a lake than a pond. Recently, the county has been putting up signs along the three mile long trail that have the names of the creeks the trail goes by which I really like. Who knew there was a creek called Suds Creek

Ki
Review №75

Its a wonderful area, I always feel more peaceful when Im walking there, the only downside to it is everyone wanting there freaking house so darn close to the park. It Literally ruins my immersion.

Review №76

Cutbacks in funding for County Parks have really taken a toll on Klineline. That being said, its still a great place to hang out. The walk from Klineline along Salmon Creek is great. Avoid parking charges by parking in the Vancouver girls softball league parking lot a little South of the entrance to the park.

Review №78

Pretty good park, gets over crowded in summer. Water looks ok has some sea weeds floating around . This park is very popular and pretty small for the amount of people who know about it. Needs a bit more careful use from the visitors. But the grass looks great, park is clean, play ground is maintained. We go rafting, swimming, pick nicking, and to play at the playground whole summer. Great place to have a birthday.

Great place. Unfortunately Clark County thinks it should outlaw any real water use, by not allowing paddles on the lake? what in the name of Communism is going on here? it is Memorial day for petes sake and Clark County is telling its citizens that it can prohibit them enjoying their lakes with paddle boats?!?!?

I walk here many times a week and love it. It is kept very natural and there is plenty of nature and wildlife. I would recommend staying on the trail because of nesting birds and animals and fragile plant life.
