We went to Hidden Creek Park West because of the troll. You mean there's a local troll besides the one at Nordic Northwest?
Officially he is a giant named Oro, part of the "Woods Gone Wild" theme.
He is also not merely a decorative giant, but a giant play structure, along with many other interesting and inclusive play structures.
It is one of the more creative play areas we have seen, but that extended beyond the play area.
There are also interesting seating options.
There is ping pong.
There are more strenuous activities for adults as well.
Do pay attention to the instructions before starting. We passed by one man discussing his options for getting down with his family, and I felt like that could probably have been avoided.
I was less impressed with the hammock forest. You have to bring your own hammocks, which makes sense. However, without actual trees there is no shade, and I feel like it would be very exposed. I may be viewing it wrong.
Regardless, there are a lot of options and a lot of ways to enjoy yourself.
If what you want is not at this park, it may very well be nearby.
In addition to being adjacent to the Hidden Creek Community Center, it is across the street from Hidden Creak Park East, with pickleball courts and cherry blossoms at the right time of year.
But as far as we know, only one has a giant.
COVID: We were there on a sunny day with lots of people, and we still found it possible to maintain social distancing. Maybe not if we had wanted to climb the giant.
Accessibility: This is pretty good. Obviously, not every activity will be for every person; I don't know that you can use mobility aids with the TrekFit Fitness Area.
Still, the trails are pretty navigable and there should be parts that work for all abilities, including some items designed specifically for inclusion.
At least it shouldn't be boring.
