Van Aalst Park offers a peaceful green space nestled within a residential area of Kirkland. Kids aged 3 and up enjoy the playground’s variety of activities, including taller slides and more challenging play structures that encourage confidence and coordination. Parents appreciate the mix of toddler-friendly areas and more advanced equipment, making it suitable for children of varying ages. The park’s hilltop location and natural surroundings provide a serene environment for picnics and walks, although visitors should note that some areas are not fully fenced, adding a bit of adventure to the experience.
