Jorgenson Woods Neighborhood Park
2024 Apr 06
This well maintained 6.32-acre neighborhood park is in a beautiful wooded setting, making it peaceful and perfect for lovers of nature! 👍🏼
Blooms and buds are just now starting to surface as we enter into spring, but I can see it is going to look like a little enchanted forest in about a month or so; lush, full, and green! 💚
It started raining while I was here today, but I was still able to find shelter in the more heavily wooded areas, which included tall mature fir trees, as well as a broad variety of trees and native plants.
There are paved trails that encircle the entirety of the park as well as dirt/gravel trails in the wooded areas, a nice size bridge with a small creek that flows through this portion of the park, a small play area in great condition with some unique pieces of play equipment, picnic tables, and benches throughout, entrances from neighborhoods on all sides, and lots of open green spaces.
I definitely recommend this park, and I look forward to seeing it again in mid-May. 😊

Biddlewood Park
2024 Mar 14
This almost 20-acre park is awesome! I had such a wonderful time here! There is a lot of green open space in a forest-like setting; it's just absolutely beautiful!
Initially, I didn't think this park was going to be very large upon arrival, but I was very wrong. There is so much to see and do at Biddlewood Park. From looking at photos posted by fellow Google Reviewers, it seems that there may have been a couple of areas that I somehow missed. No worries, though, because I definitely plan to come here again; particularly to see the gorgeous mature trees full of leaves in about a month or so. I know it will be breathtakingly beautiful because I was already impressed! You will see how magnificent these trees are from my photos/videos.
This park has a cool playground area with a bench, several open green spaces for a variety of activities and events, a paved walking trail that offers a good workout, as well as some dirt packed hiking trails amongst a heavily wooded forest setting.
I loved this park and definitely recommend it to anyone who has not been here. This is your green light to go check it out! You won't be disappointed! 💚👍🏼

Countryside Park
2024 Mar 11
I really enjoyed this cute little neighborhood park. It is 2.3 acres, so it's still big enough to go for a nice nature stroll. As you will see from my photos and videos, it is packed with towering mature fir trees, which allows you to feel as if you are in a small forest. 🌲
What's super cool is that the city of Vancouver has a program called Naturespaces, which utilities ecologically informed practices to restore and enhance publicly managed sites like local parks, trails, and nature preserves. You can sign up for a day of planting by contacting them. It truly is a wonderful program to help keep the Pacific Northwest beautiful and green! 💚
The playground here is also really nice for the kids. It has all the classic fun components to it and it is in good looking condition. There are benches and a picnic table around the playground area as well as a water fountain. There is also an open green space just big enough to play ball in, run your fur babies, or simply sit and enjoy an old-fashioned picnic in the sun.
I definitely recommend this park, and once again, encourage you to always do your part when visiting parks and other nature sites by picking up after yourself and your pets.🐕

Orchards West Park
2024 Mar 05
This 13-acre beautifully wooded neighborhood park is located just north of Vancouver Mall, so it's literally close to all kinds of activities, including tons of restaurant options for when you get done playing/walking around the park. There is also easy access to I-205 and SR-500.
This park has multiple old growth fir trees throughout; in fact I would say the majority of trees here have been here for many years, giving this park a secluded feel amongst the city. I would guess that some of the trees are 70+ years old, which automatically makes it a plus in my book.👍🏼
Being winter (yes, March is still winter here in the Pacific Northwest 😊), it was still well maintained.
I saw 3 entrances, a nice size playground in great condition, 3 benches that surround the playground area in which it is also paved, lots of green space; some open and some more shaded amongst the trees, a drinking fountain, and trash can so you can do your part in keeping this park well maintained. 🌲🐕
